We have a very pleasant, less strenuous alternative based on catching the Train from Wirksworth (Ecclesbourne Valley Railway) up the incline to the old quarries. From there you can walk up to the National Stone Centre and then up to Middleton Top. That stretch of incline is not too long. After that: walk a bit further along the C&HPR track before turning off to walk down through the big quarry back to Wirksworth. Takes about 2 hours with 2 cafes enroute (National Stone Centre and Middleton Top)

I would be delighted to show you round the Railway and the walkif we plan it before hand

Best wishes,

John H-T.
