The walk starts at Over Haddon, take the Monyash Road out of the village. At the end of the village just before the farm buildings turn right along a footpath and follow this across pasture to the B5055.
The footpath continues across the road. The path skirts the slopes of Bole Hill and descends into Kirk Dale. Cross the road here and carry on along the walled path to Magpie Mine.
After exploring the mine join the path that leads west and descend to the minor road. Turn right here and after the junction turn left along a footpath which leads first through a copse and then descends
over fields to a road. Turn right along the road and into Monyash. Turn left at the village green and follow the road downhill. The footpath through Lathkill Dale is on the right, follow this path
keeping to the river until reaching the road bridge over the river at Conksbury. Turn left up the hill then at the sharp bend take the footpath on the left which rises gently back to Over Haddon.
