Peak District Outdoor Activities - Walking, Climbing, Cycling and other sports

Digley reservoir lies just north of Holme north-east of Black Hill. There are good views down towards Holmefirth and this is a short gentle walk on the sort of day when you don't fancy making the climb up onto Black Hill.

Chatsworth Park and Beeley Edge

This short walk starts from Calton Lees at the south end of the park, goes past the house and up the hill behind, and returns via Beeley edge (7km). A diversion over Beeley Moor is also described.

Shutlingsloe

This describes two short ascents of Shutlingsloe - 'the Cheshire Matterhorn' - one from Wildboarclough to the east, and a second from Langley on the Macclesfield side.

Chrome Hill from Hollinsclough

This starts from Hollinsclough on the gritstone of the Staffordshire side of the river and crosses to the Derbyshire side to traverse the spectacular ridge of Chrome Hill before returning. An exciting circuit.

Birchover and Stanton Moor

This short walk takes in the major sights of Stanton Moor and Birchover, an area rich in historical associations and with superb views across the surrounding countryside.

Matlock Bath Circuit

Matlock Bath seems an unlikely place to go for a walk, but in fact the gorge carved out here by the River Derwent offers an excellent little circuit with a number of interesting sights along the way. A short distance but a lot of ascent and descent involved!
