Foothills Wednesday Guided Walks
Every Wednesday, Foothills hosts a free guided walk in the Peak District.
These circular walks typically range between 5 and 7 miles, covering a variety of terrain and showcasing some of the best routes in the area. The walks were originally devised by former Foothills manager and walking guide author Norman Taylor, whose Day Walks in the Peak District has inspired countless local walkers.
Our Wednesday walks are friendly, sociable and open to anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Whether you're new to walking in the Peaks or a seasoned regular, you’ll be made very welcome.
What to Expect
- Carefully planned circular routes
- Varied terrain and beautiful Peak District scenery

Walk locations vary week to week and are announced in advance.
