Thursday short walk – Darley Bridge

Thur. 17th Aug. 2023

We will meet for an 11.00 am start at the small car park/picnic site at
Darley Bridge near the Square and Compass pub. SK270 624. There is a
second car park belonging to the cricket ground very close by. We will meet
in the one with the brown picnic site signpost.
This is a very flat walk for Derbyshire and suitable even for those who
would just enjoy a couple of miles flat stroll along the river to Matlock to
find a cafe or pub of your choice before catching a bus back!
The longer route ( under six miles) will take in Matlock, Oker, Snitterton
and up Wensleydale to Wensley, Millclose mine , then via Turkey Dip Rocks
to one of the now happily re-opened pubs at Darley Bridge – it would be
rude not to!
