About Jo

Hello! I’m Jo! Welcome to The Wandering Wildflower, an outdoors lifestyle blog focusing on family walks in the Peak District, a place we love exploring. I want to share the Peak District hidden gems and show you there’s so much more than the honeypot places, as well as Lake District walks and walking weekend ideas. I like a hill-bagging list, so find Wainwright walks, Peak District Ethels walks, Peak District trig point walks and much more. I hope this blog will give you some ideas of the best Peak District walks, and inspire you and your family to head into the great outdoors. Thanks for stopping by!

A few snippets from our wander around Bolehill Qua A few snippets from our wander around Bolehill Quarry and Padley Gorge at the weekend. Such a lovely Autumn walk! 

Haven’t made a reel in ages - I hope the song choice works, because I don’t ever listen to them - my phone is always on silent! 🤞

Fancy a short Peak District walk for Autumn? Try Fancy a short Peak District walk for Autumn?

Try this 3.5 mile Padley Gorge and Bolehill Quarry (or Bole Hill Quarry) circular from Grindleford Station. You’ll pass Padley Chapel and the ruins of Padley Manor, explore the old quarry with its millstone graveyard (snd tons of different toadstools and mushrooms) and then get all the Autumn colours in Padley Gorge. These will be at their best in mid to late October/early November. A short walk with loads to see! 

Get the route map: https://thewanderingwildflower.co.uk/padley-gorge-short-walk/

Save for your next Autumn walk!

Seems like the Dragons Back is the place to hike a Seems like the Dragons Back is the place to hike at the minute! If you fancy a route that will tick off 4 Ethels, some WW2 gun bunkers, insane views and take you up and over the Dragons Back, try: https://thewanderingwildflower.co.uk/chrome-hill-parkhouse-hill/ - it’s only 6 miles long so you can get it done in the morning and enjoy a pub lunch 🙌

Here’s one a route to save for a rainy day in th Here’s one a route to save for a rainy day in the Lake District…

We had a wander from Dalegarth Station along the old railway track to Gill Force and then up through a beautiful lush gorge to Stanley Ghyll. The path takes you up to a viewing platform which leans out over the gorge so you can see how far the drop is!! 

Route is on the blog (https://thewanderingwildflower.co.uk/gill-force-stanley-ghyll-waterfalls-walk/), as well as details of our Lake District weekend break (where we stayed, what we did etc) in case you want some weekend away inspo.
