  1. Fardon/Holt River walk (route)
    A lovely stroll for dog walkers that follows the River from the English side of the River Dee at Fardon. Park your car to the left of the Holt Bridge from the Fardon side. Turn left along river bank and walk along a wooden boarded walk running between the river and the magnificent Red Sandstone cliffs. The path leaves the boardwalk and ambles beside the river across flat fields towards the A534 and its bridge.The path ends at the bridge with a flight of metal steps leading up to the A534. Cross over the bridge on the grass verge and then make your way down a very steep bank on the right and join the footpath under the bridge. Local Parish coordinators have told me that plans are afoot to install a duplicate set of steps down on the Holt side fairly soon which will make the scramble down redundant.Watch this space.Walk under the bridge and follow the river around the first large green field. This often is flooded during the winter and after the waters have receded the field has an expansive shallow lake that ducks/geese and even herds of swans use to feed and bathe.At the end of the field path you may either return to your right and follow the straight farmers track back down to the bridge. The track is not an official footpath but the farmer is very keen for walkers to use it. You can also turn left and follow the path along the river bank with lovely river views. This path eventualy ternimates at the top of a long footpath that connects with the top of the farmers track. It runs between arable and scrub fields. The walk is excellent for dog walkers but be aware of lambing season as occassionaly the farmers puts sheep out to graze.Everything is on the flat and well signposted.
  2. Taddington to Chee Dale (route)
    A walk including just about every type of walking Derbyshire has to offer. Much of the walk is moderate walking along riverside and field-paths. However, the valley walk into Chee Dale has some tricky rocky sections, descending steeply into a high-sided limestone gorge, with stepping-stones around one side at Chee Steps.
