Endcliffe Park
The gateway to the Porter Valley walk — a riverside park leading all the way to the moors.
Endcliffe Park opened in 1887 as a Jubilee park and remains the city's most-used green space, with the Porter Brook running through it, a cafe, a playground and a weekly parkrun.
Follow the brook upstream and the path strings together Bingham Park, Whiteley Woods, the restored Shepherd Wheel water-powered grinding workshop and Forge Dam — around four miles of near-continuous green from the suburbs to the edge of the Peak District.
