5. Farlands Walking - including accompanied walks

Farlands is ideally situated just inside the Peak District National Park for a limitless number of walking possibilities; short walk and all-day epics!

The Cottage is equipped with walking books and the local OS map, and we can help you with ideas and send you off in the right direction.

Have you done the Farlands 5? See the following section for some great walking routes.

Accompanied walks

• Most people who stay at Farlands walk by themselves. However, if you would like some help with route-finding, carrying your packs (even a child!) so that you can venture a little further and hearing a little of the local history, then I could accompany you.
• Walks can be tailored to meet your needs.
• Reasonable rates.
• Please note that you would be walking at your own risk
