Overview

The walk takes us, mainly on field paths, to the villages of Fenny Bentley, Thorpe and Parwich before returning to Bradbourne. The terrain is full of undulations, some of them very steep. This, combined with a few difficult stiles shades the walk into the strenuous grading.

Bradbourne is one of the 51 Thankful Villages of England, having suffered no losses during World War I. It is also one of 14 Doubly Thankful Villages suffering no losses in World War II. It is the only village in Derbyshire to bear this title.
