Dog-friendly The White Peak

Ashford in the Water · DE45 1QB

Pub DOGS WELCOME

Bull's Head Inn

Unreconstructed village pub on Church Street with an open fire in winter and boules in the garden in summer. Robinsons list it as dog friendly, and it is the quieter of the two Ashford pubs. A useful halt on the Monsal Trail loop from Bakewell.

DOGS WELCOME

Bakewell riverside and Holme Bridge

Off-lead allowed Water bowls

2.6MILES

1:00TIME

40mCLIMB

80%OFF-ROAD

Two and a half easy miles beside the Wye, an hour at most, on level gravel paths and a short stretch of pavement through the town. Start from the Bakewell Recreation Ground car park by the bridge, which is pay-and-display and the best bet in a town where parking is scarce on market Mondays. The river is slow and shallow at the weir and dogs swim there constantly, the packhorse crossing at Holme Bridge is a quiet spot to dry off, and only the last few hundred yards along Buxton Road need a lead for traffic.

5.6 MI · LOOP

Ashford, Magpie Mine and Sheldon

Ashford in the Water

5.6MILES

3:00TIME

230mCLIMB

Five and a half miles and about three hours over the limestone plateau to the best-preserved lead mine in the Peak, returning through Great Shacklow Wood. Start at the roadside spaces by Sheepwash Bridge in Ashford-in-the-Water, which take a dozen cars and no more, so an early arrival or a walk out from Bakewell is wise. This is walled sheep pasture the whole way with squeeze stiles a broad-chested dog will need lifting through, the Magpie Mine site has open shafts fenced but unroofed and no dog should be loose there, and the only reliable water is the Wye at the end of the wood.

6.8 MI · LOOP

Bakewell to Chatsworth by Ball Cross

6.8MILES

3:30TIME

250mCLIMB

Livestock — leads on Water bowls

Just under seven miles and about three and a half hours, climbing through Manners Wood and over Ball Cross before dropping into Chatsworth park and returning across Calton Pastures. Start at the Bakewell Recreation Ground car park; if you would rather halve the climbing, park at Chatsworth itself and walk it the other way round. Chatsworth requires dogs on a lead everywhere in the park and garden because of the deer and grazing sheep, dogs are barred from the farmyard and playground though there are tie-up posts outside, and there are drinking stations at the stables courtyard.

6 MI · LOOP

Beresford and Wolfscote Dales from Hartington

Hartington · SK17 0AL

6MILES

3:10TIME

220mCLIMB

Six miles and a little over three hours down the Dove through Beresford Dale and Wolfscote Dale, returning over the tops by Biggin Dale or the lane to Hartington. Start from the pay-and-display car park off Hall Bank in Hartington, a couple of minutes from the duck pond and usually with space outside bank holidays. The National Trust owns much of the dale and asks for dogs on leads all year where stock graze and in the nature reserve sections, the Dove gives clean drinking and shallow paddling the whole way, and the stepping stones and narrow riverside ledges are slippery in the wet.

5.4 MI · LOOP

Bradford Dale and Lathkill Dale

Youlgreave

5.4MILES

2:55TIME

200mCLIMB

Five and a half miles and about three hours linking two of the clearest rivers in England, with only one real climb out of Bradford Dale and back down to Alport. Park on Alport Lane or Church Street in Youlgreave, both free but tight; there is no car park in the village at all. The dales are part of the Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve where livestock graze large areas and dogs are asked to be on the lead, the shallow pools in Bradford Dale are the best dog swimming in the White Peak, and there are stone stiles that a big dog will need help over.

6 MI · LOOP

Castleton to Hope by Hollins Cross

Castleton

6MILES

3:15TIME

300mCLIMB

86%OFF-ROAD

Six miles and three and a quarter hours, climbing the old coffin road to Hollins Cross on the Great Ridge then dropping to Hope and returning along the Peakshole Water. The Castleton visitor centre car park is the start and the walk can be split by the Hope Valley train, which takes dogs free between Hope and Hathersage. Sheep graze the ridge and the valley fields, so a two-metre fixed lead is needed near stock and from 1 March to 31 July on the access land, but the Peakshole Water beside the last mile is shallow, clean and made for a hot dog.

Attraction DOGS WELCOME

The Monsal Trail

Eight and a half miles of the old Midland Railway between Coombs Road at Bakewell and Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale, level, compacted and completely traffic-free. Four long tunnels are lit during daylight hours, and ramps at Bakewell, Hassop, Great Longstone and Miller's Dale mean wheelchairs, pushchairs and stiff old dogs get the same walk as everyone else. Dogs are welcome the length of it; keep to close control where the trail runs between grazing fields.

Attraction DOGS WELCOME

The Tissington Trail

Tissington

Thirteen miles of the old Ashbourne to Buxton line, running from Ashbourne up to Parsley Hay where it joins the High Peak Trail. The surface is level compacted stone the whole way, with accessible car parks, picnic sites and toilets, which makes it the kindest long walk in the county for an arthritic dog. Tissington's old station yard is the best mid-point start; dogs need close control where the trail runs between grazing fields.

Attraction SOME LIMITS

Dovedale and the Stepping Stones

Thorpe

Livestock — leads on Water bowls

The most photographed limestone dale in England, with the stepping stones a few minutes upstream of the pay-and-display car park at Thorpe. The stones are flat-topped but spaced and go slick after rain, so most dogs are happier wading the shallow Dove alongside them, and you can stay on the Thorpe bank and not cross at all. The National Trust asks for short leads throughout, as there are sheep, lambs and cattle in the fields; from Ilam there is an alternative route that avoids the cows and the stiles and takes ten minutes longer.

Attraction SOME LIMITS

Treak Cliff Cavern

Castleton · S33 8WP

Blue John mine on the Winnats side of Castleton, and the one show cavern in the village that takes dogs underground: well-behaved dogs on a lead are welcome in the visitor area and in the cavern itself. Neighbouring Speedwell and Blue John Cavern publish no such welcome, so this is the one to book. Steep steps and a cool 9C inside, whatever the weather outside.
