Peak District Nature Walks

Walks with our wonderful ambassador, Emma. Her walks will be centred around nature, reconnection and learning. We’ll get curious and engage all of our senses as we wander through and explore the landscape.

Join a group of nature-loving women on this gentle walk through idyllic limestone valleys and bag the Wolfscote Hill trig.This route takes us along Biggin Dale and Wolfscote Dale - two nature reserves that are a haven for wildlife. That means we’ll be looking out for birds, early spring plants, and cool caves, all alongside pristine streams and waterfalls. This is a perfect, gentle walk for nature lovers! We will also be bagging the Wolfscote Hill trig point which has just had access re-established. Hartington is a beautiful village with an incredible cheese shop as well as plenty of cafes and pubs if you want to extend your visit.Distance: 7.5 miles / 12kmElevation: 985ft / 300mLevel of difficulty: Moderate. Some hill walking experience and a good level of fitness required to tackle the uneven terrain and distance.Who will be your guide?I’m Emma, an ambassador for Peak Outdoor Coaching and I’m a Hill and Moorland Leader based in Sheffield. I've always loved spending time outside but my love for the outdoors has grown even more since I started learning about the nature, folklore and history of the areas I explore. I love to share my enthusiasm and knowledge of the outdoors and help others take the first steps to find joy and connection in nature.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook - @peakoutdoorcoaching @emisoutside Transport:We'll be meeting in the centre of Hartington on the benches outside Hartington Cheese shop (<a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/kEmZpkchJjwZV5QZ7" title="https://maps.app.goo.gl/kEmZpkchJjwZV5QZ7" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Google Maps</a>) at 9:00am with the aim of setting off shortly after.There is some limited free parking near the meeting place.

Depending on the weather conditions, we could also come across some mud and slippery limestone. There will be some stiles to climb over.Toilets:There are public toilets in Hartington but none along the way so we may have to embrace the good old ‘wild wee’ whilst we’re out. There are plenty of little hidden spots for us to squat in private!Safety:The whole point of the walk is to be an enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone so we will keep to a steady pace to suit the group. It's about taking in the views, learning about the history and geology of the area and being in nature, not about rushing to the finish line. Having said that, you are responsible for your own health and safety and with all outdoor activities, there can be risks involved. If you are unsure as to whether you are fit to come on this walk, please either consult your doctor or let me know your concerns. Please inform me of any medical conditions prior to the walk.I am a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader and I am level 3 Outdoor First Aid trained so I will be on hand in case of an emergency.Dogs:Dogs are more than welcome to come along, however, there will be livestock around and potentially other dogs, so they will need to stay on a lead for parts of it. Dogs are welcome but are required by law to be on a short lead on access land between 1st March and 31st July.Refund Policy*:Refunds will only be given if the event is cancelled. If you can no longer attend you are more than welcome to sell your ticket to someone else but please let me know if you do so. No swaps to other events.And FINALLY:This walk will be going ahead whatever the weather, unless I deem the conditions dangerous so be ready to embrace the good old British weather! If I do have to cancel the walk for safety reasons, I will suggest one more date for the walk to be rearranged or you can redeem your ticket on one other walk on a date suitable to you.*see our full T&amp;Cs and policies on our website: <a href="https://peakoutdoorcoaching.com/" title="https://peakoutdoorcoaching.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Peak Outdoor Coaching</a>
