Sunday 17th May, 2026: Wirksworth (National Stone Centre) - Middleton Moor – Carsington Pasture
Walk leaders: Deb & Judi Here are the details of our May walk. Meet at the National Stone Centre, Porter Lane, Wirksworth, DE4 4LS. The what3words link is at the starting point for the walk: https://w3w.co/advantage.harnessed.doing Pay for car park in the café/shop (cash or card) Please arrive in good time for a prompt 10.30 start allowing time for paying for car park/toilet/boots etc. There are toilets available at the National Stone Centre café 10-4pm. Café stops serving at 3.30. This is an 8 mile walk with some fabulous views, starting from the National Stone Centre and taking in Middleton Moor, Carsington Pasture, Carsington Water and parts of the High Peak Trail (downhill from Middleton Top). There is a bit of a climb near the start, and a short steep descent from Carsington Pasture into the village. We managed both without walking poles but if we have rain the descent could be more challenging and poles might be useful. There are 4 - 5 stiles (not difficult) and parts where dogs will need to be on leads due to ground nesting birds and livestock. There is a shorter option of approx. 4 miles, and other variations available. If you need details of these before the day email us on: [email protected] We look forward to seeing you on the day Notts HD New to Nottingham HD?
For those of you who have not walked with us before, we normally bring a packed lunch and walk for around 4 - 4.5 hours, with some people stopping for tea & refreshments before and afterwards. What to bring If you are new, you might want to read what you need to bring (food, drink, clothing) and a bit more general information about the walks on our general info page on this site.
