Monsal Trail

Discover the spectacular limestone dales of the Monsal Trail — a stunning route perfect for exploring on foot, by bike, or even on horseback via one of the beautiful bridle paths. Follow the former railway line as it winds through historic tunnels and across breathtaking viaducts, offering magnificent views of the surrounding countryside and the charming towns of Bakewell, Chee Dale, and Blackwell Mill.

Stretching 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale and Coombs Road in Bakewell, the Monsal Trail connects a network of scenic footpaths and bridleways. Along the way, you’ll pass through or near picturesque spots such as Great Longstone, Little Longstone, Cressbrook Mill, Litton Mill, and Tideswell Dale — each with its own unique character and beauty.

Chee Dale

One of the most beautiful spots in the Peak District is Chee Dale, tucked away in the White Peak. This hidden gem lies beneath the Monsal Trail and is the perfect place for a short walk filled with surprises. The route begins at the old Miller’s Dale Station, following the Monsal Trail before winding down the steps to the River Wye and into the Chee Dale Nature Reserve. The path meanders through a stunning limestone gorge, sometimes muddy and rocky underfoot, with plenty of twists and turns that make the walk all the more rewarding.

Mam Tor

Famous as one of the country’s finest ridge walks, Mam Tor offers a spectacular 6.5-mile route beginning in Castleton and winding through some of the most breathtaking scenery in England. Perched on the edge of the Peak District, this iconic hill overlooks dramatic limestone cliffs and the historic mining caverns that lie beneath the surrounding towns.

Mam Tor, meaning ‘Mother Hill’, rises proudly near Castleton in the High Peak of Derbyshire. A well-maintained stone path from the car park leads you to the summit, where you’ll be rewarded with one of the most dramatic vistas in the Peak District. From this viewpoint, gaze north across the Edale Valley towards Kinder Scout and the sweeping Derwent Moors — a truly unforgettable panorama.

Kinder Scout

As the highest point in the Peak District National Park, Kinder Scout promises some of the most awe-inspiring views in the country. This breathtaking moorland plateau, rising 2,087 feet above sea level, is a true walker’s paradise — offering dramatic landscapes, sweeping panoramas, and a sense of wild, untamed beauty that captures the essence of the Peaks.

Kinder Scout can be reached from the charming villages of Hayfield and Edale in the High Peak of Derbyshire. It’s a popular destination for hikers, with the famous Pennine Way crossing its rugged terrain and moorlands to the north. Along the route, you’ll encounter remarkable landmarks such as Kinder Downfall, the tallest waterfall in the Peak District with a 30-metre drop, and Jacob’s Ladder, a historic bridleway linking the Kinder Scout plateau with the hamlet of Upper Booth in the Vale of Edale.

Matlock Bath to High Tor and Riber Walk

This 3.3-mile circular walk from Matlock Bath station car park takes you via High Tor, Riber, and Starkholmes in about three hours. You start along the railway path to the Cable Car, then climb the stepped path to High Tor summit for stunning views (care needed near cliffs). Descend past a grotto with views of Riber Castle, follow lanes and footpaths toward the castle grounds, then skirt past historic houses and down steep lanes to Starkholmes. From there, a woodland and field path leads back to the Cable Car and the station car park. The walk includes steep climbs and drops, so it’s not recommended for young children.
