 | Ravensdale Circuit from Cressbrook This walk is a delightful, fairly short circuit which starts at Cressbrook Mill and loops around through the Ravensdale valley, Tansley Dale, Litton Village, Tideswell Dale and then returns to Cressbrook via the spectacular Wye valley of Water-cum-Jolly. There are many possible variations upon the route. | |
 | Cheedale This spectacular walk follows the course of the River Wye through the gorges of Cheedale and then returns by another route. Although the distance is not great, this is not a walk for anyone who is not fairly nimble - the going underfoot is often rocky and slippery, and there is always the possibility of getting your feet wet! | |
 | Monsal Dale and Brushfield Circuit This is a pleasant circuit which starts and ends at Monsal Head, a famous Peak District beauty spot. The route goes along Monsal Dale, over the limestone ridge through which the River Wye carves out its valley near Fin Cop, and then descends back into the valley to return to Monsal Head. | |
 | Deepdale and Sheldon This is a brisk 8 or 10 kilometre circuit starting from the bank of the River Wye at the bottom end of Monsal Dale and climbing steeply up to Sheldon, a quiet little village high on the plateau above, before returning to the valley. There are some good views and industrial archaeology in the form of the many disused lead mines of the area. | |
 | Lathkill and Bradford Dales The walk down Lathkill Dale is one of the finest and most popular limestone dale walks in the area and this circuit takes in that and the more discreet charms of Bradford Dale too. This is longer than most of the other limestone area walks and has both fine scenery and a chance to view the different aspects of the Lathkill valley. | |
 | Youlgreave to Elton via Harthill Moor This short but varied walk covers an area of different landscapes with rapidly changing scenery - from limestone dales at the bottom of the valley to gritstone moor above. There are several interesting features along the way - Robin Hood's Stride, Cratcliff Tor and the Bronze and Iron Age remains on Harthill Moor. | |
 | Beresford and Wolfscote Dales This describes two possible circuits from Hartington - one relatively long and the other much shorter. These go alongside the River Dove via Beresford Dale and Wolfscote Dale before returning by different routes to Hartington. | |
 | Dovedale This walk makes a circuit around the lower section of Dovedale, taking in all its most famous features as well as giving some unexpected views of the dale and a return route which should be considerably quieter than the main valley. The description starts from Alstonefield, but the walk could equally well be done from the Ilam. | |
 | The Lower Manifold Valley The lower Manifold valley one of the most beautiful parts of the Peak District and is an excellent area for walks which are interesting but never too arduous. This circuit from Wetton takes in Thor's Cave and continues downstream to Ilam, returning along the opposite side of the river. | |
 | The Lower Hamps Valley The River Hamps valley and the low hills surrounding it offer good walking in pleasant scenery, even if it lacks the spectacular sights which adorn the Manifold and Dove valleys. The route described here explores the valley, making the outward trip along one side of the Hamps and returning along the other. |
