Walks in the Churnet Valley

Footpaths, bridleways, long distance walks and self-guided walks

There is a rich network of public rights of way that enable you to explore the hidden treasures of the Churnet Valley.  We are working on some self guided trails and our partnership organisations have also published routes.

Details can be found on the web links below:

The County Council Map of Footpaths and Bridleways marks all public footpaths and bridleways:
