Go Walking - follow the Leaflet!

This year Covid-19 has put a stop to our usual annual Autumn
Footprints Amber Valley & Erewash Walking Festival. (12th to 27th September
2020). Normally this would consist of a range of guided walks led by local
knowledgeable volunteers over sixteen days in September. However with Covid-19
restrictions this has had to be revised and there will be no led/guided walks.

Instead we have collected together some previously produced
walk leaflets onto the website for you to enjoy in your own family/friends
group – obviously observing strict social distancing guidance. We hope that
during 12 to 27th September 2020 you will discover what wonderful walks there
are in Amber Valley and Erewash in the heart of picturesque Derbyshire. Both
boroughs are well known for their natural beauty, superb scenery, industrial
heritage and attractive towns and villages. Both boroughs have extensive ranges
of countryside walks leaflets, created in partnership with Groundwork Walks
available to download:- • Amber Valley Routeways – a series of country walks in
Amber Valley

• Country Walks in Erewash

• Walks linked to the Pentrich Revolution

• Walks in Holbrook

• A Short Heritage Walk - Historic Trees in Risley

Go to www.autumnfootprints.co.uk
to download the leaflets from the homepage.

Please note the leaflets have been produced over the last 20
years, so well before the Covid-19. Therefore, it may be that there are some
public houses and cafes that are no longer in existence. There may be some
sections where the paths are narrow. All routes are to be walked in accordance
with strict government guidance on social distancing.

The festival is jointly organised by Erewash Borough Council;
Amber Valley Borough Council; Derbyshire County Council, several parish
councils, community groups and Groundwork.
