Tideswell Dale Walks & Route Maps

This is a really lovely walk with plenty of variety and interest. Starting in Tideswell Dale you travel along a path next to the River Wye and onto Millers Dale. From there you continue alongside the river through Cramside Wood and onto Water-cum-Jolly Dale where you can stop and admire the surroundings.

Next is a climb up through Cressbrook Dale which is a beautiful National Nature Reserve so keep an eye open for all of the widlife.

The last half of the walk involves a couple of quite steep climbs but should give you some good views on a clear day. Next stop is the pretty village of Litton where you can recover your energy by visiting The Red Lion pub for a drink and a bite to eat.

The final leg is on a country road which has a pavement for most of the way but not towards the beginning (so take care!). As you reach the main road look out for a gate on your left which will take you on a path back to the car park.

It may be muddy and slippery in places in wet weather.

Like the other walk from Tideswell Dale walk this is a beautiful walk to do at any time of year. Spring and Summer is lovely for the wild flowers and Autumn for the golds, reds and yellows of the trees in the woodland.

This walk is the same as the slightly shorter walk starting at Tideswell Dale, however it avoids the climb in Cressbrook Dale but takes you up to Peter's Stone, a distinctive limestone knoll that sits at the head of Cressbrook Dale.

This walk is mainly at a low level on good paths. It may be muddy and slippery in places in wet weather.
