For those who are looking for a more strenuous challenge, the
Derwent Valley Heritage Way offers a 55 mile route through the
county of Derbyshire.
Stretching from Ladybower Reservoir in the north to Shardlow in
the south, the walk through the valley offers varied scenery and a
way-marked route. Passing through the Peak District National
Park via Chatsworth Park and the breath taking scenery around the
Derbyshire dales and Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, the
riverside path continues to Journey's End where the Derwent flows
into the River Trent.
The Derwent Valley Heritage Way can be enjoyed as a long distance
walk or as a series of shorter walks. Stay in local
accommodation and enjoy relaxing rambles through the valley.
Take a walking break and explore the valley from end to end.
A number of publications can be downloaded or purchased
including the National Heritage Corridor and the Derwent
Valley Heritage Way providing more information of the route.
Brigantes Walks also offer a full Derwent
Valley Heritage Way package including accommodation booking
service, luggage transfer and tailored packages. They even
offer a caravan option, complete with your own driver to ensure
that your overnight home is waiting for you on your onward
journey.
