This Upper Derwent Valley walk is a lovely 12 mile route taking in some of the best views the Peak District National Park has to offer!
Starting from Cutthroat Bridge we will start heading up towards Derwent edge were you will be able to admire the unusual rock formations, before we hit our highest point Lost Lad.
From here we will meander our way through the lower meadows to the shores of the Upper Derwent reservoirs, were we can take in the history of the infamous Dambusters, before heading back to the starting point.
A full summary of the walk and recommended kit will be emailed out to you before the event, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us.
