The High Peak Trail is temporarily closed between Hurdlow and Dowlow until 20 November 2026 for resurfacing. Hurdlow car park and the route south remain open.
If your walk uses the High Peak Trail north of Hurdlow, please adjust your plans. The Peak District National Park Authority says the trail is closed between Hurdlow and Dowlow from 4 to 20 November 2026 while resurfacing work is carried out and the new surface settles.
Please do not use the closed section during the works. Hurdlow car park remains open, as does the trail heading south towards Parsley Hay. Check the National Park Authority's [temporary closures page](https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/visiting/places-to-visit/temporary-closures) shortly before travelling in case the arrangements change.
Walk leaders: check your planned route and meeting instructions, and let participants know about any change before the walk. We will review this notice after 20 November.
East Cheshire Ramblers
From gentle strolls to challenging hikes across Cheshire, the Peak District and beyond - there's a walk for everyone!
Our Ramblers Wellbeing Walks are weekly, social, short walks for beginners, available in Crewe and Macclesfield for residents. Our walks are the perfect opportunity to get out, increase your activity levels and socialise in a safe environment.
The Ramblers (or affiliated members) generate funds from Ramble Worldwide (formerly Ramblers Walking Holidays) bookings through partnership agreements, specifically receiving donations of £10 per passenger or up to £500 per group booking when users quote a specific code (e.g., RW24). This is in addition to direct discounts for the traveller, effectively acting as a charitable donation mechanism from the travel partner to the Ramblers.
