Distance: 6.7 miles Approximate Time: 3-4 hours Altitude: 1683 ft This is a moderate Peak District circular walk with a fair amount of altitude.

Alternatively the walk could start at the Monsal Trail, heading right until the second bridge is...

Hidden Lanes from Monyash – 9 to 11 miles (with options) Monyash, once a nerve centre for lead mining in the middle portion of the Peak District, is connected to its outlying farms, neighbouring villages, ancient mines and monuments by a complicated network of lanes. Some of these have evolved into present day roads for vehicular traffic, while others have fallen into decay with the passing of industry and exist only as footpaths and bridleways. Others still have vanished altogether. This circular walk...

A short walk, but still one which provides good exercise as, depending on which way you tackle it, the pull up Eccles Pike is one which will probably make you puff, yet it is well-worth the effort, for the views from the summit are truly panoramic. Begin at The Navigation Inn in Buxworth, (also known as Bugsworth) and its historic canal basin; with your back to the inn and facing the basin, begin by walking to the left a little way along the canal-side to cross a high-rise footbridge over the A6. This will lead you through a...

One of our most popular guided walks, and many would argue that 'The Great Ridge' is the finest walk in the Peak District! We often start this walk from the village of Hope, and follow low level paths through meadows to the village of Castleton, famous for its castle and Blue John Caves. To reach the summit of Mam Tor we have the option of either a steep ascent to the top of towering limestone cliffs high above Winnats Pass with breathtaking views, or an easier path which winds its way up the hillside through...

Mable meanders from Grindleford to Hathersage Time taken - 3 hours This walk, from Grindleford out to Hathersage and back, in its various forms, has been a long time summer favourite for Mable, in her menu of Peak District walks, as half of it is taken alongside her favourite natural element – water! The River Derwent runs through Grindleford on the north edge of the Peak District, and as it is mostly shallow and slow running, has been a great play pool for her on hot days, high days and holidays. Many walk has...

3 hours - Mable journeys from Grindleford via Froggatt. This walk starts at Grindleford Bridge, on the north side of the Peak District National Park, though Mable and I have also been very daring on occasions, and started at Froggatt , which is equally as accessible! Walking passed the traffic lights, over Grindleford Bridge as if heading to the railway station, you will find a small wooden gate on the right hand side which, surprisingly starts the walk in a sheep meadow.This field quite often contains sheep tups, which I...
