Walking Locations

• Fernilee Reservoir Walk (1 hour circular walk)

  This four-mile loop around Fernilee Reservoir is one of my favourite routes to enjoy with the dogs – and it really is a walk of two halves.

  On the western side, we wind through peaceful woodland, with plenty of new scents for curious noses and shady spots to keep cool in warmer weather. It’s a gentle, steady path that gives the dogs time to explore at a relaxed pace.

  On the eastern return, we follow a wide, flat trail along a disused railway track – perfect for a more structured stretch of the legs and a bit of pace. It’s great for dogs who like to trot along confidently or just take in the views.

  While there’s a shortcut across the dam wall at the top end of the reservoir, I usually take the slightly longer option – crossing the River Goyt about half a mile downstream. It gives the dogs more time to sniff, splash in the shallows (if safe), and enjoy a bit of off-the-beaten-path adventure.

  The return leg alongside the river reveals some stunning scenery – peaceful, open views that make you forget how much of this landscape changed when the twin reservoirs were built.It’s a beautiful, balanced walk that keeps dogs happy, engaged, and well-exercised – and always ends with wagging tails.

• Errwood Ruins Loop (1 hour circular walk)

  This walk near Errwood Reservoir is one I often do with the dogs – it’s a great mix of woodland, open moorland, and wide views that always leave tails wagging.

  We usually set off from the Errwood Hall car park, with a gentle start alongside the reservoir before heading up into the hills. A quick exploration of the Errwood Hall ruins gives the dogs a bit of variety and a chance to sniff around somewhere with history and character.

  The return route takes us back down towards the River Goyt, where there are plenty of splash spots and peaceful sections for a slower pace to wind down the walk.

  There are loads of safe areas for off-lead time, especially on the moorland, but I always pop the dogs back on the lead near livestock or around the reservoir edge.

  The terrain varies – flagstones, soft trails, and a few steeper bits – so it’s definitely a walk that leaves dogs content and tired.

• Shining Tor – Big Views, Happy Dogs

  Shining Tor is a walk I come back to often, especially when the dogs need a proper stretch and I fancy some wide, open views. Sitting high above the Goyt Valley, it’s one of the best spots in the Peaks for a steady, satisfying walk with dogs.

  The trail is a mix of grassy paths, some stone wall-lined tracks, and the occasional stretch of quiet road, which I always treat as a lead-on section. Most of the route is spacious and open, with loads of opportunity for off-lead time, especially when livestock aren’t around.

  After rain, a few spots can get a bit muddy – nothing a decent pair of boots (and a towel for the dogs) can’t handle. But generally, it’s a well-marked, easy-to-follow trail that suits all doggy fitness levels.

  The highlight? Without doubt, the views from the top of Shining Tor – on a clear day, they stretch for miles. The dogs usually pause with me at the summit (some more patiently than others!), before heading back down with full energy.

  It’s one of those walks that ticks every box: fresh air, open space, and tired, content dogs at the end of it.

• Ladybower & Derwent Dam – Big Views and Tail-Wagging Trails

  This area is a real favourite of mine for relaxed, scenic walks with the dogs. Whether we’re looking for a gentle loop or something a bit more adventurous, there’s always a great route around Ladybower Reservoir and Derwent Dam.

  The classic Ladybower Circular Walk is ideal for most dogs – wide paths, beautiful views, and plenty of interest along the way. Dogs need to be on-lead in some sections, especially near the dam and car parks, but there are spots where I let them off for a good run (always checking for livestock first!).

  For more energetic dogs – and humans – the Derwent Valley Heritage Way is a brilliant longer option. It’s a bit more of a challenge, with steeper climbs and varied terrain, but the scenery makes it more than worth it. My dog loves the riverside stretches, and it’s a great way to really stretch those legs.

  There are also lots of smaller paths that lead off into the surrounding countryside. I sometimes explore a new trail, depending on the weather or how the dogs are feeling – some are wooded, while others are open and grassy, which keeps things interesting.

  If we’re short on time or just fancy a gentle stroll, the Derwent Dam walk is ideal. It’s easy-going, and you still get to enjoy the dramatic dam walls and peaceful water views. Again, there are a few chances for off-lead time, especially mid-week when it’s quieter.

  It’s a great area to have in the rotation – great views, big skies, and lots of happy, tired dogs at the end of it.
