Limestone Way

AUTMN/WINTER PROGRAMME

We start our programme in 2025 venturing eastwards to the Peak District to follow the Limestone Way, a 46 mile/74 km waymarked route across the White Peak landscape of the Peak District National Park. The route passes through the dramatic dales and green rolling landscape of the Derbyshire Dales to Rocester on the banks of the River Dove in Staffordshire, passing through several picturesque villages and taking in spectacular scenery and views along the way.

A WALK: Peak Forest to Monyash 10.6 miles, 1143 ft ascent.
The walk starts in the village of Peak Forest and passes through Dam Dale, Hay Dale and Peter Dale before emerging - briefly - on to the Monsal Trail at Miller's Dale. There is then a long but gradual climb on to Taddington Moor before descending into Flagg and along lanes and tracks into the lovely village of Monyash.
