Overview

From the free car park in Old Lane, Wirksworth, just off the main Cromford road north of the village, we walk past the National Stone Centre to join the High Peak Trail. Passing Black Rocks, we head on to join the Midshires Way as far as Sandy Ford before turning towards Alport Height to join Pratthall Lane to return to Wirksworth. There are toilets at Black Rocks.

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.
