Sutton Rambling Club: Peter Dale ramble - Sunday, August 2

As usual there should be a shorter walk option.

New members very welcome and they get a free coach journey on their first ramble.

The ramble begins at Tideswell.

This is the home of the "Cathedral of the Peak", a large church in the centre of the village.

We first head north west in the general direction of the Peak Forest and follow the Limestone Way for a short distance before heading off to Dam Cliff enjoying panoramic views of the Peak Forest and surrounding area.

We then descend to Dam Dale Farm and then turn south following a number of very attractive dales, beginning with Dam Dale.

We continue through Hay Dale to Peter Dale where we shall enjoy a break in picturesque surroundings

We then climb gradually to the pretty village of Wormhill which is the site of a memorial to James Brindley, builder of many canals. The village green retains its stocks.

We leave Wormhill and proceed through spectacular scenery to Millers Dale where we will have another refreshment stop.

There is a cafe or toilets here with ample places to sit at the site of a once busy railway station. An alternative choice for refreshment is the Anglers Rest pub.

To complete a wonderful day, we leave Millers Dale and proceed along the Limestone Way before turning northeast back to Tideswell with a plethora of pubs to slake ones thirst before departure.

The coach will leave the centre of the village at 6pm for a scenic journey home.

In the morning, the coach departs from the "Staff of Life" pub in Sutton-in-Ashfield at 9.17am and from the Bancroft Lane end of Stockwell Gate outside Asda in Mansfield at 9.30am. There are other pick up points en route.

The coach fare is £14, accompanied juniors free.
