Snake Path
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.

History on a footpath sign securing an ancient route
The Peak District and Northern Counties Footpaths Preservation Society formed in 1894 to protect ancient routes. The Snake Path was one of their first routes secured by agreement with the Duke of Devonshire, as the sign says, Dedicated for ever May 29 1897. On the back of the sign is written, Altitude 705.6 feet. Wonderful signposts and we looked out for them over the next 84 miles till our return to Hayfield
