An interesting, not too difficult walk in this area of the Peak District. Most of the paths are along field-paths and tracks, mostly easy to find and all stiles were present when walked, though some waymarks were misleading and pointed in the wrong direction at a couple of stiles. There are no really steep ascents, though there are a couple of steady, long climbs and one short, quite steep descent. Some sections can become quite boggy, particularly following the stream from Wetton Mill to Butterton and between Onecote and Ford.
The pub used on this walk is the Jarvis Arms in Onecote. This pub is walker-friendly and is open all day through the summer period (except Monday); at other times it may close depending on demand during weekdays. The pub is carpeted, so be prepared to extend the usual courtesy and remove or cover muddy boots. They offer a good-value menu with reasonable choice, also an interesting range of real ales which change frequently, usually with at least one from Titanic Breweries (the landlord has always joked that it goes down well!) Others have included ales from Abbey Dale and Leather Breaches (Fenny Bentley). Outside there is a selection of bench tables on lawned beer-garden beside the juvenile River Hamps. There are signs displayed requesting you not to consume your own food at these tables.
