Crook Hill Circular (Ethel), High Peak

Climbs steadily through National Trust moorland near Hathersage with rewarding views across the Dark Peak. The 11.5km route tackles Crook Hill's exposed terrain on clear paths but expect moderate-to-steep sections, making it unsuitable for buggies and challenging for very young children. Dogs welcome to roam the open moorland. Worth it for the sense of space and classic Peak District scenery without the crowds.

Mam Tor Cavedale Loop, High Peak

Climbs steeply to Mam Tor's summit (517m) with breathtaking views across the Peak District, then descends through dramatic Cavedale's rocky limestone gorge. Moderate-to-challenging route with significant ascent and uneven, sometimes rocky terrain—not suitable for buggies or very young children, but older kids who enjoy scrambling will love the cave dale section. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The Mam Tor ridge walk and geological features make this a Peak District classic worth every uphi

Derwent Dam Green Route

Easy terrain makes this an accessible Peak District classic, ideal for a leisurely afternoon with plenty of photo stops along the shoreline.
