Start Time | 10:15 am - Mid-Week Walk |
Walk Name | Winster Mid-Weeker |
Description | Two steep-ish ascents on this walk, a short one to the top of Oaker Hill for the trig point and coffee stop and a longer ascent out of Matlock to Town Head of Bonsall, nothing really challenging. We head west out of the car park and take the path heading for Painters Way Farm and Great Close then into Clough Wood. We pick up Oldfield Lane for a short stretch then take a right into the wood which brings us out into the top end of Darley Bridge and this is where we head up the hill for a coffee break. We walk the length of the hill and drop down to join the river path and head for Matlock. We take the Limestone Way out of Matlock till we get to Town Head in Bonsall and we keep to the high ground making our way Moorlands Lane and Blakelow Lane and back onto the Limestone Way and into Winster. |
