Overview

Kelstedge - Ashover - Tansley - Dethick - Upper Holloway - Lea Bridge - Riber - Matlock

Decent footpaths/tracks on the whole with short sections on minor roads.

There are a number of hills on the walk with the biggest ascent and descent towards the end of the day.

The bluebells should be out in both Lea and Coumbs Woods which are on route and are well worth the visit.
