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.

5. View of Ladybower Reservoir from Bamford Edge
One for the more experienced walkers is the Ladybower Reservoir route. It is a moderately challenging 5.5km trail right up to Bamford Edge, but the views once you reach there will make the walk, all the more sweeter. | Visit Peak District & Derbyshire

6. River Lathkill
Take a walk at Lathkill featuring a beautiful river, dramatic waterfall and limestone valley. Two main routes from River Lathkill could see you end up at The Bulls Head at Monyash, or The Peacock at Rowsley - both delicious options where you can rest up and enjoy a nice drink. | Andrew Hil

7. Derwent Dam
Take a walk near Derwent Dam, once there you will be rewarded with jaw-dropping views across shimmering waters. | Visit Peak District & Derbyshire

8. Padley Gorge
This walking trail is one of the most fun and also one of the shortests in Derbyshire. Explore Longshaw's pretty meadow and pond in under one hour. | Visit Peak District & Derbyshire
