Peak District Stepping Stones

April 9, 2025 PEAK DISTRICT WALKS

If you’re the kind of walker who loves a bit of fun along the way, you’re going to love these Peak District walks with stepping stones. There’s just something a bit magical about hopping across a river, stone by stone – and the views aren’t bad either! From the well-loved Dovedale stepping stones to the dramatic ones at Cheedale and the more hidden gems near Hathersage, each walk comes with its own scenic twist. Perfect for family adventures, photo stops or just a little moment of joy mid-hike, these Peak District stepping stones walks are ones to add to your to-hike list.

Bamford Edge Walk | 6 Miles

I’ve included this last one purely because there are some stepping stones in Dane Bower Quarries. They’re not as spectacular as some of the other ones, but the rest of the route more than makes up for that!

How to Find Three Shires Head

Some of these stepping stones walks may be inaccessible after periods of heavy rain as the stepping stones will be covered. You can check the level of the River Derwent here. They may also be slippery, so take care with small children and dogs when crossing them. Hopefully you’ll stay dry!

I’ll keep updating this post as we discover more Peak District stepping stones.

ABOUT ME

Y Garn with Kids - Y Garn via the Devil's Kitchen Walk in Ogwen Valley

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. When I’m not dragging my husband and now 11 year old out on Peak District walks or up mountains, I can be found on planning my next moorland walk or plotting a Geocache walk (and seeing where the nearest pub is!). I love the hills but hate the heights, so trig bagging is – er- fun!

 

I hope this blog will give you some ideas of places to visit in the Peak District and inspire you and your family to head into the great outdoors.  Thanks for stopping by!
