Hiking

Chee Dale is an incredible scenic valley just off the Monsal Trail near to Millers Dale. You can get to the Chee Dale Stepping Stones if you follow the River Wye around the imposing, impressive cliff of Chee Tor by coming off the Monsal Trail. You can also do a circular walk that incorporates the stepping stones from Millers Dale. The whole area is a scenic wonderland, and it is well worth doing the walk from Millers Dale.

Hiking

There are two sets of stepping stones in the gorge. These are the better of the two - tucked right under the cliffs. However, do note that getting to these is not a gentle walk (especially of coming from Millers Dale). There are areas of scrambling, muddy patches and even a steep segment where a thoughtfully placed rope helps you scramble up and down. Not a challenge for most, but be prepared. If wet, strongly suggest good boots and poles - trainers and crocs are not a good idea along her! Wonderful spot that definitely worth the effort.
