We are the Derby and South Derbyshire Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A pretty walk above the Wye and Derwent Valleys, finishing off along the Derwent Valley Heritage way.
Please note the slightly earlier start, so we can catch the Matlock to Bakewell Bus
The group does not stop at cafes or pubs for lunch, and you should bring enough food and drinks with you to last the whole walk. We usually stop for a coffee break an hour or so into the walk, and stop for packed lunch around 1230-1300 although weather and a suitable location will affect both timings.
The walk leader has assessed this walk for the following risks, but during the walk others may become evident. You will come across, stiles, gates and other path furniture, hedges etc. You may come across road crossings, fields with crops, muddy/slippery sections, farm livestock & warning signs. You should remain stay alert and take individual responsibility
Park in the Matlock Train Station Car Park. We will be getting the bus to Bakewell and walking back
