Grindleford walks

A Peak District classic, visiting Little John’s Grave and Robin Hood’s Cave!

Millstones galore, and a rocky valley to explore.

A pleasant riverside and woodland amble around Hathersage Booths area.

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 lengthy Peak District walk demonstrates the variation in countryside that makes Sheffield such a pleasant place from which to walk. It includes reservoirs, great views, a pretty valley and wild moorland.

Win Hill occupies a strategic position and as such offers great views over the heart of the Peak District.

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.

A stiff climb to a superb rocky viewpoint with a delightful return through heathery hillside and riverside meadows.

A gentle stroll round the historic village of Hope with a pretty interlude along the River Noe.

The Castleton Ridge in Derbyshire is one of the great ridge walks in the Peak District. Starting from Hope the walk includes Lose Hill and Mam Tor before returning via Castleton to the start.

A rewarding ascent of a Peak District hill that offers fine views into Edale. An ascent of Win Hill includes a stiff climb onto the ridge but otherwise this a an easy and relaxing walk.

Nice walk from the parking spot on the A57 by Ladybower.  The public transport option would be to take the bus to the Ladybower Inn and walk from there, this would add around a mile to the route.

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.

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!

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.

This Peak District walk explores two of the gritstone edges in the eastern sector of the National Park. The walk generally follows well defined paths and tracks and offers some fine views from elevated positions along the way. After heavy rain do expect some boggy ground under foot along some sections of the route.

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 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 Peak District Walk starts from Fairholme and includes Ladybower and Derwent resevoirs, a moorland section and the dramatic Alport Castles where a large landslip was the cause of the current scenic interest.

A hill walk followed by a stroll along the reservoir makes this a worthwhile outing.
