21. Ashford in the Water
A six-mile circular route will take you from Ashford in the Water to Monsal Head, before arriving back in the village again - and you can stop at the recently reopened Ashford Arms for some refreshment afterwards. Photo: Brian Eyre
22. Milford
A 7km circular trail through Milford, Makeney, and Mushroom Wood offers a great walking route in the Amber Valley - and you can stop at the King William in Milford afterwards. Photo: Brian Eyre
23. River Lathkill
The source of the River Lathkill is at Monyash, near Bakewell, and it flows through the Derbyshire Dales until it joins the River Wye at Rowsley. It is unique, as the only river in the area that flows exclusively over limestone, and it provides a very relaxing walking trail. Depending on which direction you decide to walk, you could end at either the Peacock at Rowsley or The Bulls Head at Monyash. Photo: Brian Eyre
24. Ashover
If you want to take in the countryside around Ashover, there is a four mile circular route around the village - which also includes the Ashover Rock viewpoint. There are a number of pubs to stop at afterwards in the village - including the Black Swan. Photo: Brian Eyre
