A short city-centre walking tour from a historic alehouse, featuring a mix of well-known landmarks and lesser curiosities.

This rewarding dérive reveals the B side of our heritage and culture, an antidote to the country walk, and one which for many folk is right on their doorstep.

Canal towpath and riverside walking in a wildlife-rich rural oasis, including a local nature reserve.

Follow the Trans-Pennine Trail to a popular local landmark with extensive views.

Wide views, interesting corners, and a quiet stretch of canal towpath with a spooky tunnel.

A level walk full of interest, visiting a historic chapel, a holy well and a stretch of the River Goyt.

A rewarding walk along varied waterways, featuring historic buildings and striking canal architecture.

Along the Goyt to a historic half-timbered farmhouse, returning via the Peak Forest Canal and Chadkirk.
