Repton Walks & Route Maps

Repton walk, Derbyshire

Linking the attractive villages of Repton and Newton Solney, these walks offer relaxed rambles across open farmland with the chance to pause by the River Trent.

The shorter option is a simple countryside circuit with a handy midway refreshment stop, while the longer of the walks stretches further towards the outskirts of Burton, adding extra miles of peaceful rural scenery.

With mainly flat footpaths underfoot and the possibility of mud after rain, these walks are an easy-going way to enjoy South Derbyshire’s open landscapes and welcoming village atmosphere.

Repton Walk 1

Walk distance

Time
2.5 hours
Route type
Circular

This is a nice and simple stroll in the open countryside between the villages of Repton and Newton Solney.

The walk is mainly on public footpaths through open farmland, but there is a half way pitstop opportunity at the pub in Newton Solney, and there's also a little detour to the banks of the River Trent.

It can get a bit muddy at times in wet weather, so please make sure you have the appropriate clothing for this.

River trent section too wet and boggy so took road back to repton

Walker review

Lovely walk. Quite overgrown in places and youd deffo need wellies in wetter weather. 2 great pubs in Newton Sorney.

Walker review

Hi we did this anti clockwise. Luckily the ground was dry, but if wet this would be very deep in mud. The path section near the river was extremely over grown

This second route option is basically an extension of the first walk that adds a couple extra miles of open countryside. You'll still visit the villages of Repton and Newton Solney, but the walk also extends further towards the outskirts of Burton on Trent.

The are pubs on the route in Repton and Newton Solney and as with the first route, this can get muddy in wet weather.
