Walks In Derbyshire

There really is no better way to see the beautiful area that we live in than to walk in Derbyshire. Over the years we have walked what feels like pretty much the entire of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire and feel it only right to share those walks with you. In every edition of Country Images Magazine we feature a walk for you to follow and now we’ve put them online for you to read too. If you have a mobile or tablet, why not follow the walks on it, with a map and an explanation of where to go it’s ideal for you to follow so as not to get lost. We hope  you enjoy the selection below and check back regularly for new walks.

Three in five Gen Z opt out of paid social life altogether as young Brits take up walking

March 4, 2026

68% of young people say rising living costs have reduced how often they socialise at night34% of 16-24 year olds say they have increased walking since the pandemicSearch interest has increased by up to 79% for hiking trails and hiking equipment, with TikTok content for the topic increasing by 500% in the last month   New data shows under-25s are abandoning nights out in record numbers, replacing spending-led socialising with free, offline ways of meeting as costs and burnout peak. The new UK research, analysed by outdoor leisure company Trail.co.uk, shows three in five (61%) 18–30 year olds are now going out less often than a year ago, while just 16% say they are going out more, pointing to a decisive withdrawal rather than a temporary slowdown. The shift is being driven by cost pressure. Separate UK research has found that over two-thirds (68%) of young people say the current economic climate has reduced how often they take part in night-time socialising, while half (53%) say they are spending less on going out than last year. This highlights how paid leisure is being priced out for a generation already facing rising rents, transport costs and insecure incomes. Spending data reinforces the behaviour change. UCAS figures show students’ average weekly spend on leisure, including eating out and alcohol, has fallen from £60 to £52 in a year, a real-terms drop of more than 20%, underlining how discretionary social budgets are shrinking rather than being reallocated elsewhere. That pullback from paid socialising is showing up in what young people are doing instead. According to Sport England, participation in walking among 16-24 year olds has increased since the pandemic, with around one in three (34%) saying they have become more active through informal activities because they are free and flexible.
