Starting on a scenic (and nicely flat) path through Tideswell Dale, this walk follows the windy valley of Miller’s Dale before turning sharply and not quite as steeply as you’d expect at Water-cum-Jolly to join the Monsal trail.

From there it’s back down to the village of Miller’s Dale (with optional stop at the old Train Station) and up through the beautiful limesone slopes of the quiet Monks Dale. And then it’s just a mile or so back to the car park, with a pub stop in Tideswell!
This is one walk that’s bound to be muddy in parts, so please bring appropriate walking attire.

The Fury of Robin Hood
Start: Open in map app SK267803, Fox House Inn
End: Open in map app SK174811, Bradwell
Walk Leader: Peter Co
Backmarker: Volunteer on day
This walk chronicles the mental breakdown of Robin of Loxley following the sudden death of his chief lieutenant. Starting the walk at Fox House and heading around the edge of the Longshaw estate, Robin Hood's Well, and Little John's Well. We then turn to cross the ancient woodland in Padley Gorge before heading up Burbage Moor, but before we can reach Stanage Edge and Robin Hood's Cave, tragedy strikes! Little John's funeral is being held in Hathersage, where his grave stands in the churchyard.
After this, Robin Hood became more reclusive and left the Merry Men to wander alone on Offerton Moor. Other people would occasionally see him wandering, staring at the ground, a pose that became known as 'Robin Hood's Stoop'. He even avoided Maid Marian and Friar Tuck, who would sometimes search the moors for him. Sometimes they would see him, but he'd always hurry out of sight. "Looks like Robin Hood's Cross," they'd say as they gave up and took the path down into Bradwell.
