    Tips

    June 1, 2021

    Stunning little trail running along the Derwent Valley to a quaint stone bridge. Very popular with cyclists, picnicers and walkers. Very busy area, if it is a sunny day get there early. Closed to traffic on weekends and bank holidays.

      This is a trail that’s close to my heart, it’s so beautiful but also very manageable for someone with not so good fitness, once you climb the first part away from Kings Oak roundabout it’s easy going walking along the tree lined track, the reward for the climb is the stunningly beautiful packhorse bridge that was removed in the 1940’s from it’s original site in the village of Derwent and rebuilt in it’s present position at slippery stones, after crossing the bridge the landscape here then opens up to display the open moorland peaks beyond.
