WE KNOW THAT THE BEST WAY to discover an area is by walking or cycling it, so we've put together a series of themed ideas for you to plan your own superb, get-away-from-it-all break. Free route descriptions and maps are available for each theme – all you need do is choose the day you want to start, book your accommodation and then go at your own pace!
 

Walking along the Cromford CanalWalking along the Cromford Canal Walking Breaks
Each of our walking themes offers fantastic views and interesting places to visit – generally along well-defined public footpaths – and are suitable for anyone who is reasonably fit. 
 
Combine them with a visit to an attraction en-route; perhaps one of the area's splendid houses or castles, a historic garden, limestone cavern or local museum, or you could even book your break to tie in with one of our walking festivals.
