Edale and Castleton Circular Derby Heritage Walk

Derbyshire Heritage Walks is offering a number of guided walks as part of the 2026 High Peak Walking Festival. Some are suitable for those new to walking, while others are for the more experienced walker. All are led by a guide with over 35 years experience of leading walks in and around the area. Many are suitable for dogs with well-behaved owners on leads, and some are accessible by public transport.
