walks in the
Peak District

2-3 Hours

The Lord's Seat &

Mam Tor

A pleasant 6 mile circular walk that takes in some stunning elevations in one of the most popular areas of the Peak District. A great weekend walk that doesn't take too much time but will leave you feeling refreshed.

Starting at Hayfield and taking in the reservoir, falls of Kinder Downfall and Kinder Low with a long circular route back off the plateau into the village at the end.

​

3-4 Hours

Stanage Edge,
Hathersage

A good circular route up onto the top of the edge and back around into Hathersage. A nice incline at the start, if you like that sort of thing. We did this in heavy snow and the going was still good. 

2-3 Hours

Chinley Churn

A quick 3 mile round trip starting in Wetton to the popular Thor's Cave in Staffordshire and down the Manifold Valley, back to the village. A fun place to climb for a challenge or take the family round on a weekend alike.

4-5 Hours (Possibly 3)

Alport Castles, 
Derwent Valley

Alport Castles formed as the result of a landslide, said to be the largest in the UK. This walk starts in the Derwent Valley and ends up with fantastic views down the Hope Valley. Not to be missed, and definitely a good one.

3 Hours

Extremely popular in the summer, Dovestone Reservoir is just outside of Oldham and right on the edge of the Peak District and Saddleworth Moor. 

​

​

3-4 Hours
