Join Anne Lister, aka Gentleman Jack, brought vividly to life by one of Discover Buxton’s actor guides to take a health giving constitutional in the summer of 1825 as she muses on friendships, the Ladies of Llangollen and those, like herself, who defied social conventions.

The route is not easily wheelchair accessible but can be adapted. It features some dropped kerbs and a steep hill.
