A guided walk in the delightful Derbyshire Dales as part of a small group plus your friendly, professional walk leader. Throughout the walk your guide will 'bring the countryside to life' by sharing with you a wealth of local knowledge. 

 

This walk has it all!  We leave the picturesque village of Bonsall and ascend out of the village along a delightful old flagstone path onto the open moor to explore the industrial archaeology sites of a thriving lead mining industry.  The lanes and meadows are adorned with wild flowers, grasses and impressive limestone walls.  Wonderful views extend far over to North and South Derbyshire.  We visit the village of Winster, and follow a delightful ancient old paved path to a ridge above Birchover village.  Our route then traverse's woodland tracks, paths and meadows which are followed back to Bonsall, stopping off on the way to marvel at the huge mine workings of Jug Holes lead mine. Much of our walk follows part of the popular Limestone Way a 46-mile national trail through the White Peak from Rocester to Castleton.
