Lower Derwent Valley Woodland Walk

This walk starts in the ancient Ambergate woodlands and takes us up towards Shining Cliff before heading over to beautiful Alderwasley. We will then cross the river to proceed to Upper Holloway before returning to the car park via Crich.

All welcome, including dogs on leads.

Although this walk will be taken at a comfortable pace for all, it is approximately 10 miles in distance with regular ups and down so please make sure that your health/fitness levels can manage this. As already stated, we aim to go at a steady pace to suit all needs. Please PM me if in doubt.

Bring plenty of food and fluids and dress appropriately for the weather conditions on the day - walking footwear, windproof and/or rainproof outerwear.

Everyone is responsible for their own safety and welfare on these walks as we are not trained guides.

The Hurt Arms is the nearest public house to
the walk and after suffering several floods and subsequent closures, it seems the most obvious place to visit. Otherwise we can discuss an alternative on the day for those interested in refreshments after the walk.
Additionally, there is an Indian restaurant (no alcohol is served) opposite the Hurt Arms for those of you who might fancy extending the evening with a curry! 🥰
