Autumn Footprints - Strolling along 10th Sept onwards
Do join us to celebrate our annual Autumn Footprints Amber Valley & Erewash Walking Festival. Set in the heart of picturesque Derbyshire, enjoy sixteen days of walks, Saturday 10th September to Sunday 25th September 2022.
This Walking Festival offers a range of 34 guided free walks over 16 days. The Walking Festival has proved to be very popular with both inexperienced and experienced walkers. The walks, led by volunteers and staff from over 20 organisations, will take place in Amber Valley and Erewash. These two areas are well known for their natural beauty, superb scenery, industrial heritage and attractive towns and villages.
The Walking Festival will begin on Saturday 10th September 2022 with the first walk of the festival at Shipley Country Park Visitor Centre. This first walk is a circular walk (3 miles) at 10.30am which looks at the history and wildlife of Shipley Country Park.
Walking Festival Co-ordinator Marion Farrell from Groundwork, said:
“Walking is a wonderful way to make new friends, learn more about the area and get fitter. All the walks are free and are led by volunteers who are keen to share their knowledge of this beautiful part of Derbyshire.”
All the walks are free of charge, and will take place in areas of local heritage and natural history interest, taking walkers alongside rivers and canals as well as through towns and villages. The walks are of varying lengths and gradient, ranging in length from one mile to ten miles, offering something for everyone no matter what their interests or abilities. They are all led by knowledgeable local people who are enthusiastic to show off their local patch. Booking is advised for all walk and essential for some.
