Birchover Walks & Route Maps

The village of Birchover sits in a glorious landscape of gritstone bluffs, isolated moors and pretty woodlands.

This delightful short and easy walk takes you around the lovely countryside surrounding the village and includes walking around Eagle Tor and along the edge of Birchover Wood.

As you walk along the pretty narrow section of Main Street, just between The Druid Inn and St Michael's Church look for the sign points for Rowtor Rocks where you will see fascinating carved stairways, tunnels and rooms plus prehistoric rock art.

This very enjoyable and rewarding walk starts from Birchover, one of Derbyshire's true hill villages. There is plenty of variety as you travel around the isolated Stanton Moor where you will have wonderful views over the countryside and see Bronze Age relics such as The Nine Ladies Stone Circle and other interests like the Earl Grey Tower built in 1832.

Most of this walk is easy going with good tracks around Stanton Moor with no steep climbs.

For refreshments, there are pubs in the village.
