Walk Derbyshire – Matlock to Bonsall

April 29, 2025 VickyP

This walk takes in views over Matlock and Bonsall, winding country paths, a quarry, bluebell woodland and farms. It is a little undulated but quite an easy walk with plenty of places to stop along the way and rest if you need to. There were sheep expecting their beautiful babies so hopefully you will be […]

We decided to head out from Chatsworth for some panoramic high up views of the valley from Calton Lees car park up into Rowsley. I’m sure you have visited Chatsworth […]

One of my favourite childhood walks is here from Alport to Youlgreave. It is one of the largest Peak District villages steeped in history and it is absolutely beautiful here. I am sure when you finish the river walk and then head to the village, you will look at all the gorgeous stone cottages and […]

Dovedale is one of those iconic places in Derbyshire which everyone knows about, but finding a circular route can be a little tricky. You have a few choices on this walk to either walk down to the stepping stones, have a paddle, head up to Thorpe Cloud for the views or just picnic by the […]

Walk Derbyshire – A Wander With An Ogston View

September 9, 2024 VickyP

This has got to be one of our favourite walks which we discovered just coming out of lockdown. It takes in the beautiful views over Ogston Reservoir. You also get a bit of height on this walk so the view down the hills at one or two points is pretty stunning. Ogston Reservoir is owned […]

Set alongside the River Amber is the picturesque village of Ashover. Quaint cottages, stone houses and old pubs fill this favourite Derbyshire village of mine. It may take you a while to drive through the village as it is so pretty, with many cute cottages for you to stop and admire. Ashover has a truly […]

It was while I put the final bits and pieces to April – Monyash edition and, mentioning in the text that it starts and finishes in Monyash, it struck me that there is another of my favourites also starting from Monyash old market square. It is only a little under four miles, but it leads […]

Part of your working day would be tending the needs of a dairy herd and maybe carrying out a little ploughing and growing feed crops for those valuable cattle. […]
