Peak District Fabulous Family Walks

Join us for a fabulous family walk with your children!

The Peak District is both 'mighty and manageable'. It offers summits, scrambles, stories, wrecks and treasure on a scale that works perfectly for a family day out.

Whether you want to find a second world war aircraft wreck, scramble up a Clough on Derbyshire's highest plateau, or seek treasure at 'Robin Hood's Stride', we can help you meet your mission!

Your guides are Rachel Bolton or Richard Tower. Rachel’s background is in primary school teaching and Richard taught younger children and families on holidays as a qualified sailing instructor.

We'll ensure your family walk is:

F un: We like to educate and inspire but we'll always make it enjoyable
A ffordable We can accommodate a family group from just £80 a day
B espoke We work to your family's aspirations, ages and abilities, so that the day works for you all

Walks will start at 0945 and generally be finished between by 1400-1500.

Depending on the group and route, walks can be one mile (300 feet of ascent) to five miles (1200 feet of ascent) or more.

Subject to agreement with Rachel and Richard you may be able to bring your family dog too!

On every walk there will be treasure - so let's find it together!

Had an amazing day. Our Guide was incredibly helpful in the run-up to our walk which made it very easy to organise. On the day, he did a fantastic job with my son - helping him read the map and letting him take the lead (fully supervised of course!). We had an amazing walk up to the site of B-29 plane crash. He knew the history of the crash but also had a wonderful knowledge of the Peaks . His love of his surroundings and of his job really shone through. Highly recommended!
