The Sutton in Ashfield rambling club, founded in 1931, is delighted to welcome new and existing members on our walks. Below you can see a selection of our favourite walks in the Peak District, UK.
The Peak District has a rich history, with rolling hills hiding many a delight - stone circles, ancient villages, and abandoned castles. Our walking group would highly recommend any of the following rambles:
Our next ramble is a 12-mile linear walk through a wide variety of Peak District countryside, covering dales, pretty villages, spectacular water features, moorlands, old railway lines, an ancient spa town, fantastic viewpoints and the abandoned remains of its industrial past. The walk begins near Taddington and ends at Buxton. We begin the walk just up the A6 main road […]
The summer programme continues with a classic 12 mile gritstone edges ramble in the White Peak. There should be exceptional panoramic views especially in the morning. Hopefully there will be the usual shorter walk option. New members continue to be made most welcome and they have a free coach journey on their first ramble. The walk starts at the Robin […]
Today’s ramble is an 11 mile circular walk from Tideswell, covering Peter Dale, Wormhill and Millers Dale.

From here we follow the Dane Valley Way through delightful woodland and farmland following the river to end up at Gradbach and the lovely […]

We then cross the moors via the Pennine Way and descend past the Kinder Reservoir into Hayfield. The route is approximately 11 miles long. This is more or less a repeat of what we did in September 2024, when very […]
Our walk on this day is approximately 11 miles long, beginning at Eyam. The coach will drop us off at the carpark where there are toilets.
