About the Adventure

Join Julia for a soulful walking experience through the heart of the Peak District National Park, following the historic Peak Pilgrimage Trail from Ilam to Eyam. This unique route blends breathtaking landscapes, peaceful limestone dales, and stories of courage, faith, and community.

Starting in the tranquil village of Ilam, we’ll journey north through the dramatic beauty of Dovedale, the charm of Milldale, and the serenity of Wolfscote and Lathkill Dales, before finishing in the remarkable plague village of Eyam, a place of self-sacrifice and inspiration.

You’ll collect stickers at each church along the route, enjoy plenty of coffee and cake stops, and end each day back at our cosy base at YHA Hartington Hall, where the log fire and good company await.

Expect laughter, reflection, and some truly unforgettable scenery as you walk one of England’s most meaningful trails.



Good to Know

Grade: Moderate – expect hills, dale paths, and some rocky sections (nothing like the Dragon’s Back!).

Pace: Relaxed and social (with time to reflect & take photos)

If you’re seeking a meaningful adventure with beautiful scenery, good company, and a touch of spirituality, this three-day guided pilgrimage is for you.

A journey through limestone valleys, ancient churches, and timeless Peak District charm, the perfect escape for heart, body, and soul.
