Derbyshire Heritage Walks

Guided Walks in Derbyshire and the Peak District

Located right in the centre of England, Derbyshire contains some of the finest walking terrain in the whole of the United Kingdom. Much of this is to be found within the Peak District National Park, which covers large areas of the north of the county and contains a varied mix of deep limestone dales, high gritstone peaks and wild moors.

Derbyshire is also a county of industry and innovation, with the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site celebrating the area's importance as the true birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

Derbyshire Heritage Walks offers guided day walks for small groups around Derbyshire and the Peak District. With over 35 years experience of walking the Peak District, Derbyshire Heritage Walks are experts in the history and heritage of the area.

Most of our walks are available as "Open Walks" where you can pick the date of the walk, or as scheduled walks which take place at least once per month from March to October, with some available year-round. Each of the walks is led by a guide who is a published writer and photographer and has over 30 years experience of leading history-based guided walks and tours in the area. Details of all our available walks can be found here.

• All of our walks may be booked privately via a Personal Walking Guide, giving you the exclusive services of your guide.
• Get access to a range of exclusive walks only available via a Personal Walking Guide.
• For some walks, you can even change the start and finish point to better suit your own circumstances.

Booking a Personal Walking Guide not only allows you to pick the date of your walk to suit your own requirements, but also gives you the exclusive services of your guide. It also gives you access to a number of walks only available via a Personal Walking Guide. You can find details of these exclusive walks here.

Don't see a walk here that you like? Want to visit a specific place or area not covered by our normal walks? Then why not consider a customised walk?

Thanks to our flexible working attitude, we are also able to offer customised walks around Derbyshire and the Peak District. Previous customised walks have included:

• Edale to Kinder Downfall via Wool Packs.
• Tissington to Dove Dale Circular.
• Ashford-in-the-Water to Haddon Hall via Magpie Mine.
• Rowsley to Matlock via Stanton Moor and the Nine Ladies.
• Hope, Edale and Castleton Circular.

As part of our efforts to make the Peak District and Derbyshire as accessible as possible, we have a range of walks which are suitable for persons of reduced mobility. Some of our standard walks are already wheelchair and mobility scooter accessible, such as the Miller's Dale to Bakewell walk on the Monsal Trail, while some of the others can be adapted via minor tweaks to the route. We are also working to develop a range of new routes which combine good surfaces, no steps or stiles, and distances suitable for the majority of electric scooters. Details of all our walks suitable for persons of reduced mobility can be found here.
