Excellent quality traffic free route alongside the River Derwent. Very popular family route between Derby City and Elvaston Castle as all traffic free and flat. Surface is tarmac for most of the route with the eastern part being crushed limestone. In wet weather the limestone can get a lot of puddles. Lighting on western part of the path.
Refreshments at the Derby Arena (velodrome) cafe which is a short distance (100m) from the path.

In 2024, the surface has been upgraded to excellent quality, smooth tarmac for the whole route between Derby City centre and Borrowash bridge.
