Explore the breathtaking scenery of the Peak District, whether tackling the rewarding ascent of Mam Tor for panoramic views along the Great Ridge, navigating the stepping stones in picturesque Dovedale under the watch of Thorpe Cloud, or enjoying the wooded magic of Padley Gorge. Discover miles of accessible, traffic-free routes perfect for dogs on trails like the Monsal Trail, High Peak Trail, and Tissington Trail, often following former railway lines through stunning countryside. The shores of reservoirs such as Ladybower Reservoir and Carsington Water provide fantastic opportunities for waterside walks with your furry friend.

Beyond the National Park, Derbyshire offers beautiful country parks like Elvaston Castle Country Park and Shipley Country Park, with extensive grounds and varied paths. Wander through historic estates like Chatsworth (parkland walks) or explore the woodlands and riverbanks found throughout the county. Remember to always keep your dog under close control, especially around livestock and during bird nesting season on the moors, to help protect Derbyshire's precious wildlife.
