Шаблон:Use dmy dates The Derbyshire Portway is a pre-historic trackway that runs for over 40 miles across the Peak District of England.[1]
History
The well-known section of the trackway runs from Mam Tor in north Derbyshire through the Peak District via Wirksworth[2] to the Hemlock Stone near Nottingham and is said to have existed since the Bronze Age before falling out of regular use in the Middle Ages.[1] However, there is evidence to suggest that the trackway originally extended to Manchester at the northern end and to Nottingham in the midlands.[3]
The trackway takes in several historic locations, amongst others:[4]
The Portway was the subject of a 2017 episode of the Channel 4 programme Britain's Ancient Tracks with Tony Robinson.
