A 10-mile circular walk leaving and returning to the campsite/hostel. A medium level walk on good paths taking in four of the Derbyshire Dales: Tideswell Dale, Miller’s Dale, Water-cum-Jolly Dale and Cressbrook Dale. Expect woodland views, pretty villages, river scenes, limestone rocks, wooden bridges and sweeping dales views, and there is more! We get to see and climb up Peter's Stone a distinctive limestone knoll. What more could you want? How about sparkling conversation, sunshine (ok, maybe we can't promise this) and the option to go to the pub at the end of the walk.
