Five Churches Walk.
This walk starts at the National Trust Car Park in Ilam and visits the villages of Thorpe, Mapleton and Blore visiting five distinctive churches en-route.
9 miles (14km) Ascent 964ft (289m) Descent 958ft (287m)
The walk goes through a landscape filled with churches dating back to the Norman period and it reflects the changing times of the people and the land. All the churches are different and well worth a visit. The landscape they sit in is the real prize of this walk, with wonderful views at every turn.
The start is in the National Trust Car Park at Ilam Hall. This is free to members.
