Darley Dale walks

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

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.

Enjoy the great views and history around Cromford Canal and Sheep Pasture Top views. Go up into the woods learning all about the local industry before enjoying the view onto Derwent valley at the top, then finish your walk with a nice drink at the pub.

A good mixed terrain walk with great views. The early footpath rising through the woods was not well used so poorly defined.

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)...

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.

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

A circular walk around Middleton Top area. The 360° view offered by Harboro' Rocks over Carsington Water reservoir is incredible. It is also an opportunity to have a closer look at the windmills.

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

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

Hills, woods, streams and villages: a varied hike around the Barlow valley.

A lake- and streamside stroll in a wooded valley with distant views of Chesterfield’s twisted spire.

A hilly walk to a pretty village and historic private house, with two picturesque fords to add interest.

This walk visits sites associated with the story of Pentrich and South Wingfield Revolution. After leaving South Wingfield, on the night of the 9th June 1817, the rebels passed through the Fritchley area, visiting farms to demand weapons and men as they marched towards Nottingham. Retrace some of their steps on this walk and discover some anecdotes about that period.This is Walk 3 of The Pentrich Revolution Walks.
