Guided Walks in the Peak District with Lithosphere Expeditions

Step back in time on a guided heritage walk. We explore the Peak District's most fascinating historical and geological landscapes, connecting the human history of the region to the geology that shaped it. Every walk is tailored to your group's pace and led by a qualified local guide with a background in geology, archaeology, and local heritage.

Areas We Explore:

• Eyam & The Plague Village: Discover the history of the 1665 quarantine through the specific locations where the events took place, including the Plague Cottages, Mompesson's Well, and the Riley Graves.
• Matlock & The Derwent Gorge: Walk the gorge where the river has cut through the limestone, taking in the High Tor cliffs, the Victorian spa town of Matlock Bath, and the lead mining history of the Via Gellia.
• Castleton & Cave Dale: Explore the village surroundings including the dry limestone valley of Cave Dale with Peveril Castle perched above, and the dramatic dry gorge of Winnats Pass.
• Bakewell & The White Peak: Explore the limestone heart of the Peak District, taking in the clear river and historic weirs of Lathkill Dale, or the extensive, well-preserved surface remains of Magpie Mine on the high plateau.

Tailored to Your Group: Whether you are looking for a gentle stroll around heritage villages or a longer dale walk, the specific locations and pacing are adjusted to suit your group.
