Overview

A short walk across farmland and along quiet country lanes.  The terrain is fairly flat though there are a number of stiles to negotiate. None of the three hamlets has a pub or even a village shop although each one has its own church. Moreover there are no public toilets on route. It may be possible to enter the church at Danbury to see the oldest surviving piece of stained glass in Derbyshire.
