Walk Moor

About

Interested in exploring new areas on the moors, getting more exercise or meeting new people? Join the Eastern Moors Partnership for their Walk Moor Programme. 

Your walk will be led by an experienced leader and you'll also meet other people who volunteer on the Eastern Moors. All walks are 2.5 to 3.5 miles long and should take around 90 minutes. At the end of each walk you'll have the opportunity to go somewhere for refreshments so bring some money and a change of shoes.

On Thursday 5 March, the walk will take in 2.5 miles of the beautiful Longshaw Estate, owned by the National Trust.

Meeting at Woodcroft car park, Longshaw Estate at 10am for a 10.30am start
Parking: Woodcroft Car Park at Longshaw (£3.50 for 4 hours. Free to National Trust members so bring your membership card).

The weather on the moors is changeable so it's good to go prepared: Wear a waterproof jacket and warm layers. Long trousers are recommended to protect your legs from brambles and ticks. Waterproof shoes with ankle support and good grip, such as hiking boots, are necessary to protect you on uneven ground. Wear a hat and gloves in spring and autumn, and a sunhat and suncream in summer. Carry some water and a snack. If you have walking poles, bring them with you.

Dogs are welcome but please keep them on a lead of less than 2m at all times.

This event is in partnership with In partnership with North East Derbyshire and Derbyshire Dales District Council.
