Millers Dale Walk and Map

If you enjoy nature, then this first option is a wonderful walk for you. The first part of the walk takes you along the delightful Monsal Trail.

There is then a short but really steep climb up through the woods into the Priestcliffe Lees Nature Reserve. The views at the top though are well worth the climb.

In the summer there are some spectacular wild flowers including orchid and numerous butterflies. Birds to look out for include redstarts, blackcaps and willow warblers. All year there are treecreepers, green woodpeckers and nuthatches.

The rest of the walk takes you over lovey countryside, firstly to the village of Priestcliffe and then back to Millers Dale.

Refreshments will be available at the Cafe at Millers Dale Station or the delightful riverside pub - The Angler's Rest at Millers Dale.

Parts of this walk will be muddy and slippery, especially on the climbs and declines through the woodland so please take care.

This second option is a short, easy walk which takes you through a very lovely part of the Wye Valley. You will travel from the old station at Miller'sDale, an abandoned railway junction, sitting in the valley beside girder bridges crossing the River Wye.

In late Spring and Summer there are many wild flowers to admire here including bedstraw, rockrose, wild thyme and marjoram, ramsons and beautiful wild orchids.

The walk travels along the Monsal Trail with beautiful steep sided hills to either side and on to the pretty little village of Litton Mill.

You will cross the river over a footbridge at Litton Mill and travel on an easy path back to Miller's Dale where you could stop for refreshments at The Angel's Rest pub before two short climbs back to your starting point.

Some of the paths can be wet and muddy in wet weather and half of the walk is on a quiet road, so please be careful at all times.

Another beautiful walk with lots of nature and wildlife to enjoy. It is lovely at any time of year but particularly in Spring/Summer.

The walk starts at Miller's Dale Station, an abandoned railway junction, sitting in the valley next to girder bridges crossing the River Wye, and travels along the Monsal Trail up to the pretty hamlet of Wormhill with its lovely Manor House and church.

The route then follows the Penine bridleway for a while before returning through the wonderful Monk's Dale which forms part of the Derbyshire National Nature Reserve and is full of different trees, plants and mosses.

There are some short sections of road walking without pavements, so care is needed. Some sections of the path may be muddy and slippery during wet weather and in parts the ground rocky and uneven underfoot. There is a bit of climbing and a couple of descents.

Refreshments are available at The Angel's Rest in the village of Miller's Dale or at the cafe at the station (please check first).

This is a wonderful walk full of variety and interest. It starts at Miller's Dale Station, an abandoned railway junction, sitting in the valley beside girder bridges crossing the River Wye. The first half of the walk travels on the Monsal Trail and then the Chee Tor Tunnel.

The second half of the walk will thrill you. The path beside the river will take you through a ravine with gushing springs, quiet pools, crags, rapids and stepping stones to cross.

The path through Chee Dale is a delight and is a mass of colour throughout summer, with the scent of meadowsweet, knapweed, scabious, willowherb and the pretty blue cranesbill.

This walk is somewhat challenging, with a fair amount of scrambling over rocks, but as long as you are agile and steady on your feet you should be fine. It can be wet, muddy and slippery after wet weather and should be avoided if the river is at a high level!

Refreshments may be available at the Cafe at Miller's Dale Station but please check before you go.
