Although a relatively small area it offers a great variety of walks suitable for moderate and easier walking, in the Peak District and also the Derbyshire Dales. <br /><br /> Walking terrain includes high moorland, river valleys and farmland. Kinder Scout is the highest area in the Dark Peak with famous features such as Jacob s Ladder and Kinder Downfall. The Dales include beautiful, clear river valleys like the Derwent, Dovedale, Lathkill Dale and many others. You will stay in comfortable three star hotels and enjoy excellent food. </p> <br /> <h3> HOLIDAY INFORMATION</h3><img src="img/iback1.jpg" alt="Grassroutes" height="5" width="484" class=""/> <p> <h1>TRAVEL</h1> <p>Transport will be by either a small, fully fitted coach, in the case of larger parties or comfortable mini-bus, for smaller groups. </p> <br/> <h1>WALKING GRADES</h1> <p>The programme is designed for Grades B & C, as described below.
