Follow the steps up the tree-lined banks of Hermit's Wood and you will come across an intriguing cave with an arched doorway. This is the Hermitage and it was carved by Cornelius, a local baker from Derby.

In around 1130, he was led to this spot after a vision of the Virgin Mary. She told him to come to this spot and live a life of solitary prayer. Later, he also built a small chapel on the site, one of the smallest churches in England.

A really beautiful spot full of history! Make sure you were good hiking shoes, as there is a lot of steps on routes nearby, which can be treacherous with a mix of recent rain and wet leaves!
