Milton Walks & Route Maps

Milton walk, Derbyshire

Tucked between the small villages of Milton and Foremark, these walks offer relaxed countryside rambles with welcoming village stops along the way.

The shorter option is a gentle, family-friendly loop across open farmland, visiting St Saviour’s Church and the striking prep school buildings in Foremark before returning via Milton’s High Street.

The longer of the walks extends further into the surrounding countryside, adding extra distance through heath woodland and quiet rural paths.

With easy-going terrain and a cosy pub waiting at the end, these walks are perfect for a leisurely day out in South Derbyshire.

This is a simple and lovely family-friendly pub walk in the countryside between the small villages of Milton and Foremark.

The walk takes you on public footpaths through some open farmed countryside and then has a little detour to the impressive prep school in Foremark.

Milton Walk 2

Circular

This second route is basically an extension of the first walk for those of you that want to work up a bit more of an appetite before visiting the village pub.

It still visits the nice pub in Milton of course and the impressive prep school buildings in Foremark, but this walk also extends further to the south east for some extra open countryside rambling and a stroll through heath wood.
