Overview
Sunday 29th September 2024
Distance: 4.5 miles
Duration: 2 hours
Led by: National Trust
A family-friendly circular walk from Ilam Park to the iconic stepping stones at Dovedale. From the picturesque village of Ilam we follow the River Manifold to Coldwall Bridge, before continuing to Dovedale National Nature Reserve. Take your turn to cross the stepping stones before returning to Ilam Park across farm fields.
This fairly gentle route is along paths, roads and across fields. Expect some uneven ground, steps and stiles. There may be livestock grazing and farm fields are likely to be muddy, so walking boots or wellies are recommended.
This event is part of YHA's Festival of Walking - view other social walks.
What makes it special
- Straddle the counties of Derbyshire and Staffordshire on the iconic stepping stones at Dovedale
- A family-friendly walk linking two very different neighbouring National Trust sites
- Free cuppa and cake at the finish
