Tuesday morning walks (first Tuesday of month)
**Please note change of day to Tuesday for 2024**
We are delighted to have a partnership between Derbyshire Dales District Council, NE Derbyshire District Council and the Eastern Moors Partnership to provide a wonderful monthly walk along the Gritstone Edges and up on the Eastern Moors. Walks are on uneven ground and will include some uphills.
Walk Moor walks run between March and November - please see the pdf in the 'dates and locations' section for full details
We are giving the What3Words location for each of the car parks as they are not all obvious. Find the what3words website or download the app.
Booking is advised in case there are last minute updates - please contact
Please wear appropriate clothing and be prepared for inclement weather. Wear good boots/shoes to give your feet support and long trousers to protect against ticks. Bring some water and poles if you have them. There are opportunities for a drink afterwards at several of the meeting points so do bring some money if you would like to.
There are many opportunities to view wildlife both mammals and birds so do bring binoculars if you have them - our walk leader volunteers are very knowledgeable so you are very likely to see, hear or learn something new.
