Belper Circular Walk

This moderate circular walk starts in the town of Belper. It's famous for it's deep industrial roots as an early mill town within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, it's long history of nail making , also the first UK town to use gas street lamps.

As we head out of Belper we will be heading to our first village of Milford. A quiet hamlet which is situated in the large deer forest which spread from Duffield to Wirksworth, until the cotton mills came along and set up the water powered Mill.

Our next village stop will be Makeney, a village which has rugged beauty within the landscape of gritstone.

Heading out of village to Holbrook then onto Belper Parks.

You won't be disappointed in the scenery on this walk, lots of photo opportunities.

Please check and read through the groups disclaimer

We are a group of like-minded adults who share the same interest, the great outdoors.

This a a guide to what we do and what we expect from our members.

Our leaders/event hosts are volunteers, they're there to guide groups on walks in the countryside, they're not responsible for each and every participant other than themselves.

It is expected that all participants to be fully responsible for themselves and their own safety, we do not employ first aiders or qualified walk leaders. Participants are also expected to attend every walk with suitable clothing, footwear and any other equipment, that includes waterproofs for wet weather and walking poles if you need them regularly. Enough food and drink for the day is also required.

Some activities in more mountainous regions such as the Lake District, Wales and Scotland, can be more challenging, our walk leaders will use the principal of the groups safety at all times and if the conditions dramatically change for the worse, they will reserve the right to end the walk and turn back. A full and concise descriptions of the terrain will be published in the event write up stating what to expect on the walk, terrain using the best of our knowledge. Also to give our members an insight of what to bring such as walking poles, crampons and wet weather gear.

We will meet for 10am for a 10.30am start
