Overview

An easy walk of around 6.5 miles in the White Peak area of Derbyshire - a land of submarine limestone deposits. From Hartington village centre, the route heads SE to meet Biggindale, then descends into Dovedale before returning into Hartington via Wolfscote Dale. There will probably be an option for some to extend this walk on a loop which would increase the distance from 6.5 miles to 7.5 miles.

There are a variey of pubs and teashops for post-walk gratification in the picture-postcard location.

The coach will leave Wyndley Swimming Pool car park at 08:30. To book your place on the coach, please text Tony Power on 07759 300856. Coach fare is £10, payable in cash on the day.

There will be a boot-up stop at Ashbourne - 20p coin required to access toilets.
