About this deal

From the top of this hill, you can see as far as Manchester, Bolton, and all the way to Snowdonia in North Wales. It’s an epic vantage point! In fact, Peak District was the UK’s first-ever national park, designated as such in 1951. The place was the stage of a famous mass protest in 1932, against the prohibition of hiking in its free open land. Get your ass insured –It’s better to be safe than sorry —you’ve probably heard that from mom a few times. If you want to enjoy all the walks in Peak District without worrying too much, consider covering up with a solid travel insurance policy for the trip.

And water. Drink that shit! You may not always be able to find places to fill up on potable water along the way, so do think about getting a filter water bottle — that way, you can drink from ANYWHERE. While not as extreme in inclines as some other crazy hikes, nor as far-flung or remote, the Peak District has enough natural intrigue and hilly trails to keep even veteran hikers mesmerized. summary of distance, time, gradient, level of difficulty, type of surface and access, landscape, dog friendliness, parking and public toilets.The route follows old railway lines, footpaths, and a canal towpath. Embarking on this one also means seeing some of the urban fringes around Sheffield and Oldham, as well as the slopes of Cheshire and the moorlands of Staffordshire.

On sunny weekends the occasional ice cream van is always a welcome addition to the Dovestones car park. Otherwise, the nearest place for refreshments is a pub called The Clarence, about a mile (1.6km) away in Greenfield, which serves food daily. For more choice you'll have to try the cafes and pubs of nearby Uppermill. What to look out for I have always found Cicerone guidebooks to be well produced with excellent introductions to the area in question and containing detailed descriptions of well-chosen walks. This new guide is no exception. This guidebook provides 35 day walks and 7 longer walks and trails exploring the eastern section of Derbyshire's limestone area. The walks are spread across the area, starting in pleasant towns and villages including Bakewell, Tissington, Eyam and Middleton. Largely travelling along well-marked paths over gentle rolling landscapes, these walks are suitable for walkers of all abilities.A word of caution: do not underestimate the area. Walking on the high moors – Bleaklow, Kinder Scout, Derwent and Howden – requires excellent navigation skills, especially in winter. It also requires good equipment and a knowledge of how to use it, and clothing that is appropriate to the time of year. The use of walking poles when crossing moorland can be helpful for maintaining balance and forward motion. They can also be useful when descending some of the steeper sections of the walks. The multiple routes that cross the epic Peak District are a perfect showcase of the green landscapes and ancient isles. And hiking here is totally safe. The routes are well-trodden, well-signposted, and the weather is never too extreme.

Respect the natural environment –The Peak District is a protected area, and hiking among this slice of nature means leaving no trace behind. Do not disturb the natural environment, and keep away from animals — they’re minding their own business, so you should too.Derbyshire County Council closed this path in May 2022 until at least April 2025. Motor vehicles are no longer allowed on that section of road. In view of the length of time and the precarious situation I have completely revised that section of the walk.

Dog Friendliness: Mostly open sheep country subject to access agreements; dogs should be kept on lead or under close control at all times You start at the Longshaw Estate, and shortly after you’ll be heading out into the countryside on this well-marked trail. You’ll pass a charming area of woodlands on Froggatt Edge, that gives the trail an extra fantasy touch.Discover for yourself the rich and varied landscape of the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, North York Moors, Northumberland and Peak District. Inspirational landscapes, beautiful villages, local food and drink, history and heritage, classic country pubs - it's what walking is all about. Inn to Inn walking holidays
