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:

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