The Derbyshire Portway is an ancient prehistoric trackway which can be traced from Mam Tor in the north of Derbyshire to the Hemlock Stone on the edge of Nottingham. Along the route are a fascinating variety of prehistoric and historic sites, including hermitages, hillforts, tumuli, carved crosses, churches and standing stones.
Believed to date from the Bronze Age and in regular use until the late middle ages, the Portway has been followed by travelers for thousands of years as a link between the Trent valley, the Peak District and beyond.
