Chee Dale Stepping Stones

5 miles distance and a 2-3 hour walk – 23 miles from the cottage

Chee Dale is in the White Peak Area. The unique walk is hidden beneath the Monsal Trail and it is a fantastic location for a short walk with a few hidden surprises. This circular walk starts from the old station at Miller’s Dale and initially follows the Monsal Trail, before heading down steps to the River Wye and Chee Dale Nature Reserve. The walk takes you along a beautiful path, which can be muddy and rocky in places with plenty of twists and turns. It is essential to have some appropriate hiking footwear. There is a fun section, crossing the Chee Dale stepping stones, which get you safely past a section where limestone cliffs make a footpath impossible. For an easier option with less ascent, you can take the Monsal Trail back to Millers Dale.
