Overview

A picturesque route though very pleasant and varied farmland, with views of the Chesterfield Canal, the activity of the local flying club, and the archeology / natural history of a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The paths and tracks are all fairly good, with just a couple of stiles when crossing the railway. We will have a coffee break at St Peter’s church in Thorpe Salvin, and have lunch at the bridge over the Chesterfield canal at Turner Wood, where we can watch the swans, ducks and a goat! We then head through Lindrick Dale, and after crossing the A57 with great care, we have a very pleasant walk through Anston Stones Wood to return to our cars.
