Limestone Way
This Peak District path is a long-distance walk in miniature: it has all the villages and dramatic scenery one would expect on a much longer trail.
The Limestone Way is roughly 40 miles. Please note this route has not been properly measured, so the mileage here is merely a guide.
Accommodation
We have split accommodation into Hotels & Inns and Bed & Breakfast. Guest House accommodation is included with Bed and Breakfast, and while we realise many of them are as good as some hotels, in order to avoid confusion we have opted for the simpler option.
Restaurants and Pubs
We have attempted to give as much information as possible regarding whether the pubs serve real ale and/or food, but restaurants and pubs are notoriously changeable. We welcome any additional information to our lists of restaurants and pubs.
