Stone Circles Challenge

Explores ancient standing stones and prehistoric monuments across moorland terrain with moderate to steep climbs in places. Suitable for confident walkers with older children (10+), but not buggy-friendly due to rough paths and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth doing for the atmospheric stone circles, far-reaching views, and fascinating glimpse into Bronze Age Britain—a proper historical adventure through dramatic upland scenery.

Downs Banks Dog Walk, Downs Bank

National Trust

Winds through ancient woodland and heather-covered heathland with gentle-to-moderate slopes along well-maintained National Trust paths. Suitable for older children but terrain can be uneven with occasional steeper sections, making it tricky for buggies. Dogs actively welcome throughout. Offers lovely valley views and seasonal heather displays, plus interesting sandstone rock formations that make it more engaging than a standard woodland loop.

Downs Banks Edges Walk, Downs Bank

National Trust

Loops through ancient heath and woodland with gentle to moderate slopes on well-maintained National Trust paths. Perfect for families with older children (5+) who can manage uneven terrain and tree roots—too rough for buggies. Dogs welcome and love the open heathland sections. Worth it for the mix of habitats, beautiful valley views, and seasonal heather blooms, plus fascinating old quarry edges to explore safely.
