Overview

Leaving Matlock Bath, we head east to climb to the village of Riber before veering south through Coumbs and Bow Woods to cross the River Derwnt and Cromford Canal. We then walk westwards along the High Peak Trail to the outskirts of Cromford before turning north above Matlock Bath, finally dropping down into the town beside the cable car.

Walkers from other groups are always welcome, as are non-members wanting to sample walking with our friendly group of ramblers. Just turn up and make yourself known to the walk leader.

 

Please make sure you have an ICE (in Case of Emergency) card on you when out walking – you know it makes sense - if you don’t have one then ask the walk leader for one before the walk starts.

 

On our walks, we regret no dogs please UNLESS the walk is described as DOG FRIENDLY.
