Peak District- Upper Derwent & Howden Reservoir
This lovely circular 11 mile walk begins and ends at Fairholmes Visitor Centre, run by the Peak District National Park Authority.
The route completes a circuit of both Derwent and Howden Reservoirs, with a beautiful old packhorse bridge as a great halfway point and picnic stop. There is stunning countryside along the way, and for the most part the route uses well-made paths and lanes.
Meeting Time and Place: 09: 30 at Fairholmes Bamford Hope Valley S33 0AQ
Lunch: Walkers should bring a packed lunch, snacks, a hot drink and plenty of cold drinks. There is a snack shop at the car park if you wish to get your drinks from there.
Clothing: Although it’s a fair trek the terrain is relatively flat and gentle with only a short section of uneven ground, and it should be accessible for most walkers, cyclists and those in all-terrain wheelchairs.
The terrain may be muddy and uneven in parts though due to the time of the year, so appropriate footwear will be needed.
