Overview

Starting in the main car park at Chatsworth House  we walk uphill to the Hunting Lodge before walking through Stand Wood to the Rabbit Warren. Then it's onto Gibbet Moor which we cross to Heathy Lea Brook and then cross the A619 to Gardom's Edge and the A621. It's then through Raddowhole and Yeld Woods to Baslow. Then it's back through Chatsworth Estate parkland to the start point.

Park in the car park at Chatsworth House and meet by the entrance to the stables. Parking costs between £7.50 and £10 so car sharing recommended. Sorry about the parking costs but they increased the cost after I did the prewalk.
