Few footpaths have much recorded history associated with them, but this route from Hayfield to the Snake Inn was, as the sign tells, secured by the Peak District and Northern Counties Footpaths Society in 1897 'for ever'. This must have been a significant innovation at the time, coming many years before the famous Kinder mass trespass of 1932.
