Summary

An interesting walk with along three of the most beautiful rivers in Derbyshire – Lathkill, Bradford and Wye – and through two of the best known lead mines in Derbyshire – Magpie and Magshaw. The top of Lathkill dale is one of the best secrets of Derbyshire and the Magpie mine an area that all should go and visit and ensure that they understand what our industrial heritage is all about. Hard work, bleak landscape and death.

The route takes you through some pretty villages viz Sheldon, Alport and Over Haddon and close to Youlgreave.

The route is easy to follow although some of the paths will be muddy after rain.
