- **Event Name**: Old Glossop and B-29 Crash Site Circular
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am
- **Event Description**: 13.5km Length
570m Elevation gain
Circular

This trail takes you up to Higher Shelf Stones and visits the B-29 crash site and memorial near its peak in the Peak District National Park. 

The trail starts in Old Glossop, where you’ll follow the road along the Glossop Brook before embarking on the gradual climb up to Higher Shelf Stones and the B29 Superfortress crash site and memorial. 

The site itself is captivating; there are large parts of the fuselage, wheels and parts of the engine strewn over 400 yards of ground.

When the US Air Force Boeing RB-29A crashed on Bleaklow Moors in 1948, all 13 crew members died, and much of the wreckage remains at the site, along with a memorial.  

A path leads to the trig point at Higher Shelf Stones, which is near the summit of Bleaklow Head.

Descend along the southeastern slope before following the Doctor’s Gate path along the lower slopes and continuing on the same paved road along the brook back to Old Glossop. 

Dogs are welcome, but please keep in mind that during nesting season (between 1 March and 31 July), dogs should be kept on leads to protect the rare ground bird species nesting in this area. You’re also likely to encounter free-roaming sheep. 

The trail involves some steep sections, and the terrain here is marked by peat moorland and gritstone, and parts of this route tend to be very boggy, so appropriate footwear is needed.
