The Limestone Way (suggested five nights)
The Limestone WayThis 46-mile (74 km) route starts from Castleton, then crosses the lovely White
Peak landscape at the heart of the Peak District National Park, before following
the River Dove and ending at Rocester in Staffordshire. The walking is varied and includes spectacular limestone dale scenery, as well
as taking in the delightful villages of Monyash, Bonsall, Tissington and Thorpe.
Along the route you'll be able to stay in comfortable B&Bs or hotels, each
close to a local inn or restaurant where you can get your evening meal. Distances
may vary slightly, depending on the location of your chosen accommodation.
