D Walk - Mellor
2026-04-16 10:00
Walk to start from Knowle Road. Mellor. SK6 5PL

Off Longhurst Lane.

Hi everyone.

Due to the daily rising cost of fuel, I have changed my planned walk to a local area.

This is a 5.5 moderate walk around Mellor with mainly decent footpaths, some Lane walking, a couple of tricky stiles and maybe mud .

Directions

From Brabyns Park carpark turn left , then right at the t. lights into Town Street.

Continue ahead into Longhurst Lane for 0.8 miles, then left into Knowle Road signed Mellor Primary School.

Parking along the roadside, not in the school carpark as it is term time.

Hope to see you there, weather looks ok.

C Walk - Millers Dale (Change from programme)
2026-04-19 09:45
Distance is just over 7.5 miles and moderate. Car park is £6.60 for the day so consider car sharing. Arrive at 9:45 for 10:00 start. According to Google maps, the distance from Marple to Millers Dale Car Park is about 22 miles, 45 minutes (or less if no traffic problems!).

Walk starts at Millers Dale Station Car Park and along the Monsal Trail towards Chee Dale through three tunnels. At Chee Dale, there’s a climb up a zig-zag track along the Pennine Bridleway towards Tunstead. Before reaching Tunstead, we turn right towards Wormhill and then continue to Monk’s Dale. Instead of walking down Monk’s Dale, which is horrible, we take the road to climb up out of Monk’s Dale to Monksdale House and take the track to join the Limestone Way to Millers Dale. Then join the Monsal Trail to return to the start.

Directions

Do not put the SK17 8SN post code in as this will take you to Millers Dale and not the station!

So from Marple go towards Buxton on the A6 and either go via Buxton or turn left at the traffic lights in Dove Holes to go via Peak Dale, Haregatewall and Wormhill to Millers Dale Station Car Park. If you don’t fancy the cross country route, then go into Buxton and continue on the A6 towards Bakewell. After a couple of miles, take the left-hand turn (B6049) towards Millers Dale and at the bottom of the hill, turn left (Sign posted Wormhill and Monsal Train Car Park). The road climbs up the hill, go under two arched railway bridges and then turn left into the car park.

If you do fancy the cross country route, then it’s left in Dove Holes onto Dale Road. Turn left at the junction with Smalldale Road and then turn immediately right, signposted Wormhill/Millers Dale. Continue on this road through Wormhill and when the road descends after a sharp right-hand bend, turn right before the arched railway bridge into the car park.

MEETING POINT

Mam Nick car park ( S33 8WA) Parking free for National Trust members or £6 all day for non members It is perhaps worth noting we are NOT walking up Mam Tor but are iinstead heading in the opposite direction towards Peak Forest

THE WALK

The walk itself is a delightful and interesting walk with great views over the Peak District throughout plus a landscape including numerous examples of grass covered hillocks and hollows that are the surface remains of lead veins and mines, the hamlet of Old Dam .and Eldon Hole once thought to be the entrance to Hell. There are a mixture of fields ,footpaths, tracks and quiet lanes (usually!!). Fingers crossed for the weather which at the time of writing was dry!DISTANCE

Approx.7 miles ,moderate with some ups and downs with a few stiles DIRECTIONS

Take the A6 towards Chapel -en -le Frith .Just past the Aldi roundabout bear left and then left again towards Castleton and Mam Tor ..Continue along this road for a couple of miles and you will see a wooded area with the Mam Nick carpark on your left.
