We are the Sheffield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

There are a number of uphill sections on the walk with the steepest climb at the very beginning. We have plenty of time so these will be taken at a leisurely pace as we need to stop and take in the views, which are extensive at times, especially before lunch.
We follow decent paths/tracks on the route as we dip in and out of The Limestone Way in the morning before returning into Matlock on The Derwent Valley Heritage Way.
Catch the 8.31am X17 bus from the Sheffield Interchange.
Please note this is a limited stop bus within the Sheffield boundary so please make sure where it stops if you intend picking it up on route. Leader will catch the bus at Meadowhead.
There are several public car parks at Matlock for car users.
There are public toilets at the start (20p required) and at Winster where we will probably have lunch. There is also a shop there who sell coffees/teas and light snacks.
