 | Digley Reservoir Circuit Digley reservoir lies just north of Holme and nestles into the north-east flank of Black Hill, which looms above it. It's a local beauty spot with good views down towards Holmefirth and is a nice place for a short gentle walk on the sort of day when you don't fancy making the climb up onto Black Hill. | |
 | Chatsworth Park and Beeley Edge This short walk starts from Calton Lees car park at the south end of the park, goes past the house and up the hill behind, where you obtain an excellent view of the whole setting, and returns via Beeley edge (7km). If you want to lengthen the walk or are interested in wildlife or archaeology then a diversion over Beeley Moor is also described. | |
 | Shutlingsloe This describes two short ascents of Shutlingsloe - 'the Cheshire Matterhorn' - one from Wildboarclough to the east, and a second from Langley on the Macclesfield side. | |
 | Chrome Hill from Hollinsclough This short walk starts from the charming little hamlet of Hollinsclough on the gritstone of the Staffordshire side of the river and crosses to the Derbyshire side to make a traverse of the spectacular ridge of Chrome Hill before returning. There are many possible walks starting from Hollinsclough but this, the shortest, is probably the most exciting. | |
 | Birchover and Stanton Moor This short walk takes in the major sights of Stanton Moor and Birchover, an area rich in historical associations and with superb views across the surrounding countryside. It gives an interesting outing for a winter's day, or one when covering a lot of distance doesn't seem important. | |
 | Matlock Bath At first sight Matlock Bath seems an unlikely place to go for a walk, but in fact the gorge carved out here by the River Derwent offers an excellent little circuit with a number of interesting sights along the way. Nor is this walk to be underestimated - what it lacks in length it makes up for in ascent and descent! |
