Robin Hood's Stride

This first walk is a lovely route which starts in Elton. There are lots of things to see on your journey including hermit’s cave, a stone circle and of course, a visit to Robin Hood’s Stride itself. There are some inclines on this walks but nothing too strenuous, however, it can get a bit muddy in places. Please note that there are some steep drops from cliffs near Robin Hood’s Stride so please be careful.

This is the second walks from Elton and includes a visit to the beautiful Bradford Dale. This location is a haven for nature and bird watching and this route also includes a visit to the interesting medieval hermit’s cave. Like the previous walk, the best bit is when you reach Robin Hood’s Stride, the famous and unusual rock formation. As with the other walk, please take care in this area as there are hills and steep drops from the cliffs, plus it can get muddy.

The third walk past Robin Hood’s Stride starts in the village of Birchover. The route takes you on a Journey of history and mythology, including the hermit of Cratcliffe Tor and the infamous outlaw who jumped across the huge pillars and gave it’s name to Robin Hood’s Stride. This walk also takes you along the pretty Main Street and as you pass The Druid Inn look out for the hidden Druids Caves and the Rowtor Rocks. Although this is quite a short walk, it does require some energy with some steep sections and a bit of road walking. At the end of the walk, refreshments can be enjoyed in one of the pubs in the village.
