Distance: 8.5 miles (14km)  
Ascent: 1,400 ft (440m)  
Descent: 1,150 ft (360m) 
Starting from the "Alpine" style village of Ilam our first walk of the trail crosses the famous Dovedale Stepping Stones and covers the full length of the Dovedale Valley – ample time to admire its limestone rock formations. 
From the hamlet of Milldale, we’ll take a quiet lane to Alstonefield where the churchyard boasts the resting place of Annie Green - the oldest legible headstone in Britain. Leaving Alstonefield over grassland, we’ll descend back to the River Dove and through Beresford Dale and into Hartington.

Descent: 750 feet (240m) 
After an initial ascent from Hartington much of today's walk is on tracks and the Tissington Trail (a former railway line now a footpath and cycle way). Along the way, there’s plenty of opportunity to admire open views across the landscape.  The walk ends in the sleepy village of Monyash, once an important centre for mining and agriculture.

Distance: 6 miles (9.5 km) 
Ascent: 500 feet (160m) 
Descent: 950 feet (280m)  
This morning, our walk starts on grassland before following the course of the River Lathkill through the dale.  Parts can be rocky, but there are many rewards. Leaving Lathkill, we’ll ascend to the village of Over Haddon. In the village churchyard, there’s a chance to spot the grave of Maurice Oldfield – a British intelligence officer said to be the inspiration for James Bond's "M". 
The walk continues over fields and down into the market town of Bakewell where there’s free time to enjoy a coffee and perhaps sample one of the town’s famous treats – Bakewell Pudding and Bakewell Tart.

Distance: 8.5 miles (13.5km) 
Ascent: 1,350 feet (480m) 
Descent: 1,350 feet (420m) 
There’ll be lots of ascent today.  We start gently over the ridge to Chatsworth, first visiting Edensor Church, home to many Cavendish family graves. The Cavendish family have a long and significant history with the region and Chatsworth House – Derbyshire's most iconic stately home – has been their family seat since 1549.  We’ll continue through the parklands of Chatsworth to another estate village, Baslow.  From here it's a steady ascent (on a track) onto Baslow Edge and the first of our Gritstone Edges. The day ends descending back to the valley to Curbar Church

Distance: 7 miles (11.5km) 
Ascent: 1,000 feet (300m) 
Descent: 1,150 feet (360m) 
It's back up on the Edges this morning, but thankfully, the coach does the climb. Walk along Curbar and Froggatt Edges with 360-degree views that stretch towards our final destination, Eyam. 
After descending to Grindleford Church the walk follows the Derwent Valley before reaching Stoney Middleton with its "Roman" bath house and octagonal church. 
From here it's a short ascent, passing the Boundary Stone into Eyam (Plague Village) - one of the places worst-affected by the Great Plague of the mid-17th century. We’ll reach the final church on our itinerary and enjoy time to discover the history of the village and celebrate the end of our journey.
