The Amber Valley area offers many opportunities for walkers, horse riders and cyclists of all abilities to get out and about.  There's a wide variety of way-marked routes that include spectacular scenery, quaint villages and fascinating local history. 

The Amber Valley Routeways is a series of circular walks and rides along public footpaths and bridleways throughout the Amber Valley.  A self guided leaflet accompanies each route giving directions and interesting snippets of information along the way.  New routes are planned throughout 2008, and will be available, along with the more established routes from the Tourist Information Centre, Market Place, Ripley.  They can also be downloaded from the list below, along with other local interest walks.

There are many good guide books that can be purchased from local outlets. A number of these are available from the Tourist Information Centre, Ripley.
