Monyash Limestone Way
Distance: 3.75 miles.
Start/finish: Monyash Car Park, on the Sheldon road.
Walk to the right from the car park, straight on at the crossroads in the direction of Youlgreave - signposted . As you walk alongside the road Fere Mere is passed on the left, when the road bends to the right the path carries straight on to join a walled track. At the end of the walled track go over a stile and keeping close to the wall on the right go over another stile by a National Trust Sign. Continue in the same direction angling slightly to the right to go over a stile. Then keeping close to the wall on the left cross another stile by a cattle drinking trough.
Near the top corner of the next field go over a stile in the wall on the left and continue with the wall on your right. On reaching a farm gateway on the right, go through it to follow the track into One Ash Grange farmyard.

Take the sign to the left in the farmyard past a camping barn round the rear of some old cottages and with the hay shed on the left go over a stile with a steep fall. Head straight on for the rocky valley beyond, where the path descends steeply before bending slightly to the left to cross the footbridge over the river. Walk to the left up Lathkill Dale for about one and a half miles past Parson’s Tor on the right and through Ricklow Quarry.
Turn left at the Monyash to Bakewell road and head back towards the village going up the main street and turning right at the crossroads back to the start of the walk.
