The walk starts from Friden, goes along a short stretch of road, farmland, tracks and country lanes, with some stiles and a flight of metal steps to negotiate.

This walk will explore 12 of the 18 “Sites of Meaning",  a Millennium Project by the parishes of Middleton and Smerrill in the Derbyshire Peak. Seventeen entrances to the parish are marked by boundary stones, each inscribed with a text chosen by local parishioners — a public expression of private thoughts and feelings at the start of a new millennium.

Dogs welcome, but they will need to be on a short lead, please, and be able to negotiate the open steps.

​

Bring food and drink.
