Overview

This coach trip provides a 7.5 mile walk to the West and South of Eyam. We'll walk through some typical Derbyshire farmland on gentle hills before descending into, and walking through, a wooded gorge. We'll come out of the gorge into the village of Stoney Middleton and walk back up to Eyam. At the top of the hill (sorry, not a gentle hill), at the edge of Eyam, we'll have a rest at a particularly historic point with a good information board.
