Grough-Stuff Walks was
proud to be associated with the Peak District's premier event specifically dedicated to walking.
During the 9 day Festival period, I put on 5 walks and took out over 90 people. The weather
was a mixed bag...one day we were getting sunburnt and the next it was hailing on us! Typical Peak District weather
(ie. unpredictable!)
Please click here to see some pics taken on the walks during the Walking Festival.

Post-Boxes on Kinder Scout - Starting in Hayfield, this walk goes in search of the 4 post-boxes located

Villages & Dales Walk - You'll see a lot on this walk, including 6 lovely Peak District villages, pretty

Following in the Stately Steps of Mr Darcy - An easy walk around the parkland of Lyme Park, taking in Lyme
Cage, Lyme Hall, Bowstones, Moorside. A family friendly walk and, dare I say it, one for the ladies, with Lyme Hall being
the set for the classic scene in the television production of 'Pride & Prejudice', where Mr Darcy (Colin Firth) emerges
from the lake after his early morning swim. Cue for the ladies to swoon :-)
