Overview

This walk begins in Rowsley and takes a track up to Manners Wood affording lovely views over Chatsworth House before descending to Edensor and through the grounds before heading over the moors and  back to the Carlton Lees garden Centre and along the Derwent Valley to Rowsley.

We pass a cake stand, so bring some cash if you want to enjoy the goodies. 

There is a steep climb up to the Hunting Tower in the grounds of Chatsworth and it could be muddy in places 

No public toilets on this walk and we do not plan to stop in the grounds of Chatsworth House
