About this walk

The Farndale daffodil walk is an easy 6 km circular walk with 90 m of ascent, taking 1.5 to 2 hours. It starts at Low Mill, Farndale (grid reference SE 672 951).

Every March and April the banks of the River Dove in Farndale turn yellow with wild daffodils, smaller than garden ones and protected by a nature reserve since 1955. The walk follows the riverside path from Low Mill to Church Houses and returns by the lane.

It's lovely at any time of year, but quiet except in daffodil season.
