This is a walk providing far reaching views over the Derbyshire White Peak. We visit the fascinating remains of the Magpie Mine and then head over to lovely Lathkill Dale. As the upper Lathkill Dale is quite difficult under foot these days we will follow the Dale beyond the River Lathkill's source on a path along the rim to return to Monyash. A packed lunch is recommended as the cafe/pub is at the end of the walk.
