Join us for a walk through the hills, and through the pages of the stories told about the Peak District. Many folk stories have been passed down, through the centuries of people living in this beautiful landscape. Set off from Ilam Park and explore through the hills and valleys listening to the strange and wonderful tales of Peak District life.
Want to hear more stories about the White Peak? Why not also come on our Literary Legends walk on 17th May 2025 and hear about how some of the greatest writers in history have visited and been inspired by the landscape.
The walk will be approximately 6 miles with plenty of stops to talk about the folktales and will include hills. Accompanied children (11+) are welcome.
We grade our guided walks A, B or C depending on how challenging the walk will be. This walk is graded B - a medium walk with some hilly terrain. Voucher is included for 10% off at Ilam Tea Room and free car parking redeemable on the day of the walk. This event, like all our events is open to members of the National Trust and non-members. All money raised goes straight back into looking after the White Peak.
