Enjoying nature and being in the great outdoors while bask in blazing winter sun can feel like a real boost for the soul.
Walks are a great and pocket-friendly way to spend a few hours reconnecting with nature.
A nice stroll is magically transformed into an unforgettable afternoon thanks to pretty views overlooking the countryside, which our beautiful county boasts an abundance of.
Walking sessions - no matter how short or brisk - are also a great way to introduce younger ones to the benefits of walking in the great outdoors. Just make sure the trail you are embarking on is safe and easy to navigate.
Why not make the most of the winter sunshine and enjoy the wider Peak District in its full glory.
Forget your phone, sling on your hiking boots and make an afternoon of it by exploring our beautiful region with loved ones.
If you wanted to go all out, why not consider a stopover near one of the walking trails, to incorporate bracing walks across Derbyshire?
From Peak District favourites such as the jaw-dropping Curbar Edge, to grounds of the world-famous Chatsworth House, here is our photo gallery packed with walks offering breath-taking views to beat the January blues.
1. Padley Gorge
Padley Gorge and Grindleford are closely linked, being around 30 minutes away. However we have put Padley Gorge in a separate listing as its incredible beauty makes it a standalone spot that surely should top 'Derbyshire Bucket List'. Follow Padley Gorge onto moors and boulders, enjoy Surprise View and Mother Cap then head back to the station. | Andrew Tryon
2. Curbar Edge
One of the most popular Derbyshire walking routes is this one at Curbar Edge. Start your Peak District adventure at Curbar Gap car park, walk along gritstone slopes at Curbar Edge, and be rewarded with incredible views across the Derwent Valley. | Visit Peak District & Derbyshire
3. Monsal Trail
Enjoy long avenues lined with tall green trees as you embark on the Monsal Trail. Easy to access on relatively flat terrain, it runs between Bakewell and Wye Dale and is around 13.5km long. | Google
4. Hathersage
Embark on a 14km walk from Hathersage to the dramatic cliffs of Stanage Edge. With stunning views of the Derwent Valley and Hope Valley, it is easy to see why this is a popular trail with walkers. | Jason Chadwick
