Free Guided Walk in the Peak District | Tideswell Dales & Hidden HistoryFancy discovering a different side of the Peak District?
Join local Mountain Leader Tom Wells for a free guided walk exploring the beautiful limestone dales, woodland paths and fascinating history around Tideswell.
There's much more to this landscape than the scenery. From ancient tropical seas and lead mining to the area's historic cotton mills, Tom will share some of the stories that have shaped the White Peak.
Our circular walk takes us through Litton, Tansley Dale, Cressbrook Dale and the Litton Mill area before returning towards Tideswell.
Expect lovely countryside, interesting local history and plenty of opportunities for photographs and conversation along the way.
WHO IS THIS WALK FOR?
This is a friendly, sociable walk for people who enjoy exploring the countryside and would like to discover more about the Peak District.
You should be comfortable walking approximately 10km over uneven countryside paths, including some climbs, descents and potentially muddy or slippery sections.
You're very welcome to come along on your own.
