Walk description
From the free car park we walk through the historic village, passing the Riley graves before the descent into Stoney Middleton passing the Roman Baths en route. We then make the short steep ascent over to Coombs Dale then follow the rough path to Blakedon Hollow. Thence we follow mainly farm tracks through Wardlow Mires, Foolow and back to Eyam.
This walk would be classed as easy (gradient-wise) apart from a short steep ascent in Stoney Middleton.
