Overview

This classic walk takes us through one of Derbyshire‘a finest limestone dales and along the river Bradford, passing through the village of Alport, which was once a lead mining and smelting centre of great importance. Expect a good showing of spring flowers and the typical birds of the dales. The Bradford is a good place for spotting trout in the clear waters.
