Overview

A few hills with plenty of woodland and nice views, all make this a worthwhile walk. We proceed through woodland towards Derwent Valley and Duffield village. We then head for Horsley Carr forestry. We walk past Drum Hill reservoir, along the Great Northern Greenway and through Breadsall Village, then back towards Little Eaton

The free car park is on the left-hand side as you go up Vicarage Lane, past the barrier and the toilets are in the village hall down some steps near the entrance to the car park.

During the walk, there is one stretch of busy B road to walk beside and cross over once. There are several relatively easy stiles to traverse and there are also some steep steps to negotiate.
