Bakewell CP walks

Bakewell to Manchester by public transport was a 2h30 trip. Too much of a sitting for us. We decided to walk the 13 k up to Grindleford (3h30 walk) and catch the train from there (1 hour to Manchester Piccadilly). The start is a bit abrupt, the section along the river splendid, and there is a pub 5 minutes before the train station, if you've missed your train (or if you're early for the next one)...

This Peak District walk starts in the pretty village of Ashford-in-the-Water and explores the limestone country lying to the south of the Wye Valley. The routes visits the remains of Magpie Mine, the village of Over Haddon and uses mainly field paths to complete the route.

A lovely walk from Ashford in the Water taking in a wide range of terrains including two dales, the River Wye and the Great Shacklow Wood. It's a good un!

A lovely river walk from Haddon Grove Farm Campsite taking in Lathkill Dale, Tufa Dam waterfall and Lathkill Head Cave.

A Peak District walk that traverses pretty Lathkill and Bradford Dales. The walk also includes a section of the Limestone Way.

This Peak District walk provides a shorter route for visiting Lathkill and Bradford Dales.

Really lovely varied walk starting at Calton Lees and climbing up to Calton Pastures with great views over the surrounding area of Bakewell and Chatsworth House. After passing the house climb through Stand Wood and return to the car park via Beeley.

This Peak District circuit visits the hamlet of Brushfield before following the Wye Valley back to the start. The walk passes infamous Litton Mill, Cressbrook and Monsal Head.

A circular Peak District Walk that inclues a number of the highlights of the area to the west of Bakewell. The route includes sections along the River Wye, visits Monsal Head, uses a section of the Monsal Trail and Great Shacklow Wood. The walk does have a sting in the tail as there is a lengthy ascent towards the end of the walk.

This is a varied walk skirting the Chatsworth Estate through woods and moorland.

Chatsworth is home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family.

See Nelson’s Monument and the Three Ships - a short walk with lots of interest and great views over Derbyshire.

Pleasant woodland and moorland walking with two contrasting edge walks and more great views.

A walk full of interest and contrast, from prehistoric rock art to grand architecture to classic Derbyshire gritstone.

This circular Peak District walk starts in Tideswell Dale and continues through Miller's Dale into Ravensdale. The route is an ideal introduction to this area which is popular for walkers.

Nice, easy fine weather walk starting from the beautiful village of Winster. Lovely views as you travel through different terrains.

This is a glorious walk in the Peak District National Park, starting on the Monsal Trail, before heading down to walk upstream along the river Wye in the limestone gorge of Chee Dale, then heading over the top of Worm Hill before heading back to the car park via the moss covered landscape of Monks Dale.

A gentle circular walk through 5 dales in the White Peak starting at Tideswell visiting Tideswell Dale, Miller's Dale, Water-cum-Jolly Dale, Cressbrook Dale and Tansley Dale. As well as seeing the beauty of these dales you pass two historic mills (Litton Mill & Cressbrook Mill now converted to flats) which were at the forefront of Britain's Industrial Revolution. Tideswell is a bustling Peak District village with plenty of amenities and makes a perfect place to celebrate the completion of this walk.
