The centrepiece of this walk is the new footbridge carrying the Trans Pennine Trail over the Chesterfield canal. We saw it under construction last time we walked here. It was officially opened in July.
The walk starts with the main climb of the day from the station to Dobbin Clough Farm. We then go along quiet or closed roads past Brimington Common and through West Wood to join the TPT near Inkersall. At Staveley we cross the new footbridge across the canal to join the Cuckoo Way (along the towpath) which takes us back to Chesterfield station.
This will be a sociable walk mainly on wide paths so great for chatting.
