Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Three and a half easy miles and about an hour and three quarters through riverside meadows to Leadmill Bridge and back by field paths under Hathersage Booths. Start from the Oddfellows Road car park in the village, pay-and-display and usually the easiest parking in the Hope Valley, with the station five minutes away. The Derwent here is broad, slow and shallow at the bridge and is the best swim in the valley for a dog that likes deep water, but the meadows are grazed by cattle for much of the year so a two-metre lead is needed near them, and there are half a dozen stone squeeze stiles.

THE SMALL PRINTCattle graze the riverside meadows for much of the year, when a fixed lead of no more than two metres is required near them.
