Step off the beaten track and explore the "dark side" of Milford, where the winter sun never quite reaches over the Chevin.

This fascinating 1.25-mile circular walk takes you on a journey through the area's rich history, from the rise of its housing and community buildings to the stories of the railway that shaped the town. Uncover the secrets of the past: what it was like to have the Strutts as landlords, why the community of Swainsley Court vanished, and where locals once dreamed of having their own railway station. Perfect for history buffs, curious walkers, and anyone who loves a story behind the streets, this two-hour adventure is mostly flat with just a short hill at the start.

Enjoy a safe, comfortable walk along pavements, with only a little bit of road to cross, as you dive into Milford's hidden tales. Don't just walk-experience the stories of Milford's west side and see the town in a whole new light!

Walk Leader: Jane Whitaker Start Point: Milford Triangle Tickets: Adults £7.50 (plus online booking fee) Under 16s go free

Places are limited - all walks must be pre-booked online at www.belpernorthmill.org.uk/calendar
