Overview

An additional short walk to welcome a visitor from Cumbria to the Peak District. Please come along if you are free.  It is a repeat of the route archived on our website (25/09/24). The walk will commence from Alstonefield and encompass Milldale, Ilam Rock, Hall Dale and Stanshope.  We may be too late to see the snowdrops at their best, but hopefully the daffodils will be out in bloom.
