The Upper Derwent Valley is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with fabulous walks and cycle trails straight from the door of the Yorkshire Bridge Inn. Cycles can be hired locally and stored in our covered storage area. Fly fishing is also available on Ladybower Reservoir, and there are golf and horse-riding facilities nearby too. The iconic Stanage Edge, a mecca for rock-climbing enthusiasts, is only a short drive away.
The Yorkshire Bridge Inn is also close to the historic houses of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall, and the market towns of Bakewell and Buxton are within easy reach.
This lovely circular walk takes in some fabulous views around the pretty village of Bamford. It starts and ends at the train station in Bamford (S33 0AH, SK 20747), and is also very close to bus stops on Routes 2C, 100, 271, 272, 273, 274, 275 and 276, so it’s easily accessible by public transport.
The route heads past Bamford Mill and then follows the beautiful Thornhill Trail to the dam across Ladybower Reservoir. From there the route heads through pretty countryside and along quiet village lanes back to the start point.
This is a circular walk of just over 4 miles. For the most part it uses country lanes and clearly-marked trails, although there are some grassy footpaths. There is a stepping stone crossing by Bamford Mill, and be aware that there are some squeeze stiles and a couple of tall stiles that might be difficult for those with reduced mobility. The walk goes right past the lovely Yorkshire Bridge Inn, which serves great pub food and real ales. Allow 2-3 hours to complete this walk at a moderate pace, allowing for rest stops to take in the views.
