Walkers are invited to take a free guided tour around two highlights of the South West Peak Landscape Partnership’s heritage projects during National Lottery Open Week.

The event is free of charge, places must be booked in advance. It starts at 10am and ends at 1pm. Full details will be given at time of booking.
The walk is about 2.5 km (1.5 miles), with one steep descent.

Hobcroft Barn is a beautifully restored 19th century field barn. The barn has original internal features and provides magnificent views across the Manifold Valley to Ecton Hill and Dale Mine. Historically, it belonged to the Harpur Crewe family, who owned Calke Abbey. It was restored through the Barns and Buildings Project.
Dale Mine was the focus of the Understanding Dale Mine Project in 2018 and 2019.
Please wear sturdy footwear and appropriate clothing for the weather. Limited parking is available at the village hall where donations for parking can be made.
This event is part of National Lottery Open Week and is a thank you to National Lottery players and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which made possible the South West Peak Landscape Partnership projects.
