Shining Cliff Wood Walk and Sunday Roast, Ambergate, Derbyshire

Join Ade on this moderately easy walk through the ancient woodland of Shining Cliff Wood, with a pub stop to enjoy one of the best Sunday roast carvaries in Derbyshire.

What Will We Be Doing?

Shining Cliff is an ancient woodland which was part of the royal hunting forest of Duffield Frith and is now designated a site of special scientific interest. With its own crags, streams, lakes, over 100-acres of mature woodland and even a haunted old mansion house, Shining Cliff has almost everything on its doorstep. We will be taking a leisurely walk through this woods, then out into the village of Alderwasley before reaching our lunchtime destination of The Bear Inn. At this cosy pub, which dates back to 16th century, we will be stopping to experience its famous Sunday carvery (the best I've ever had!). Afterwards we will be walking it all off with a walk up to Alport height with its extensive views of the Derwent and Ecclesbourne valleys before heading back into Shining Cliff wood.
