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

From the car park at Over Haddon we follow the River Lathkill downstream to Alport then its over fields to Harthill Hall. We continue uphill past Shining Bank Quarry then its downhill to the A6 with great views of Haddon Hall. A short walk along the banks of the River Wye takes us to the Monsal Trail and to our lunch stop at Bakewell. After lunch we climb steadily uphill across Haddon Fields to Shining Bank Quarry and Baltic Wood then follow footpaths along the edge of Lathkill Dale back to our start point.
Parking charges of £6.50 apply, cash no card facility though there is an option to pay via an App. Strongly suggest you bring the cash in coins with you. Toilets in the car park at the start point and therefore also at the end of the walk. Plenty of pubs and cafes in Bakewell at lunch time plus public toilets. During the prewalk was muddy along the River Wye and through one wooded area. Walk generally ok for dogs, just a couple of difficult stiles.
In Bakewell turn left at the roundabout in front of the Rutland Hotel then immediate right onto Monyash Road. Follow this road uphill for about 1.5 miles then follow the signs for Over Haddon. You will see the car park signs and directions as you enter the village.
