    Yaaay, another Derby based topic…

    Recommendations for decent walks in the Peaks, 3 ish hours, ideally on the south side, decent views and not just a tarmac path, and with a decent pub at the end?

    Chrome hill & Parkhouse maybe a bit far North but worth it, my favourite walk in the white peak (go to the Royal Oak at Hurdlow or Bull at Monyash).
    Roaches / Ludds church (not sure of a decent pub round there)
    Dimmingsdale (not sure of a decent pub round there)
    Litton & Cressbrook
    Dove Dale / Millers dale
    ^^ Birchover’s nice but not been to the Druid for a long time.

    If you go to the roaches/Ludds Church you could park in Wincle and do a loop walk up to ludds church etc and come back to the ship pub in wincle.
    Or have a walk up shuttlingslow near Macclesfield, park next to the reservoir next to the Leather Smithy.
    Maybe too far from derby though!

    One of my favourites, two lovely dales in one walk, two pubs to choose from in Youlgrave.

    Dimmingsdale (not sure of a decent pub round there)

    Ramblers Reteat cafe does great food and has a licence it’s not exactly the Peak but just as picturesque in an older woodlands, river valley kind of way

    If you can find a route around Barlow, just north of Chesterfield the Tickled Trout pub is highly recommended (going there myself tomorrow) If no walks in the immediate area it’s only 10 mins drive (back towards Derby) from many footpaths around the various ‘edges’ of the east Peak

    Closer to Derby grab an OS map and look around Cromford, Matlock, Ambergate, Crich area, plenty of walks to be had with some industrial heritage thrown in and plenty of decent pubs (ridings not bad either 😀 )
    Hurt arms at Ambergate is ok again (used to be great , went poor for a while now new owners and decent Sunday lunch again) or The Dog Inn at Pentridge

    This is quite a useful website – http://www.walkinginderbyshire.co.uk/walks.php
    That draws together walks from a load of different websites, you will need to track some of them on an OS map first though as they don’t all have maps and directions are often interspersed with descriptions of the surroundings
