Starting from Tideswell we cross some fields before joining the Limestone Way for a short distance. Making our way to the Hamlet of Wormhill boasts that James Brindley was born nearby and there is a memorial to him which we will pass. Through the village our path takes us across fields and down to the riverside path which we follow into Millar’s Dale. Passing a brick viaduct and later two impressive metal railway viaducts, one of which now carry the Monsal Trail.

Along the river we turn inwards just before Litton Mill the route takes us in;and and up Tideswell Dale to Tideswell for a well earned cuppa or something stronger. Hopefully there will be time to visit the magnificent Cathedral of the Peak the Church of John the Baptist.
