The Peak Pilgrimage walking holiday is a lowland walk from church to church. Over 34 miles, it delves into the history of the Peak District’s villages and enjoys the stunning limestone dales between. The route flows north from Ilam along the River Dove, dipping into pretty villages like Hartington and Monyash, and offers the opportunity to explore Bakewell, home to a good number of independent shops and eateries — and the town’s signature Bakewell Pudding.
The final day’s walk into Eyam overlooks the manicured grounds of Chatsworth Park and presents a choice between the main riverside route through Baslow or a more challenging alternative up to Curbar and Froggatt Edge.
Walking through the stunningly beautiful limestone landscape of Dovedale.
Visiting the Chapel of St Bertram within the Church of the Holy Cross at Ilam, a pilgrimage site since Saxon times.
Completing your walk in Eyam, the town that closed its borders to contain the Black Plague in 1665.
