This beautiful historic country house was built in the 18th century and is a blend of Georgian and Victorian architectural styles. It's surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and parkland that feature mature trees, ornamental plants and plenty of open space.

This is a beautiful trail between fields of farmland and the River Trent just south of Derby. Further down the path you have the fascinating Anchor Church caves which are naturally formed caves that have been extended to form a dwelling.

Heath Wood is a small but beautiful copse between Foremark Hall and Seven Spouts Farm. It is a gem of a small wood, a nice shaded spot on a hot summer’s day too. It is a forestry commission wood, but before and after is farmland, so be considerate of farm animals if you are walking your dog.

Foremarke Hall is a manor house, completed in 1762 and now the home of Repton Prep.

Anchor Church caves are found in a Sandstone outcrop, close to Ingleby. The naturally formed caves have been extended by to form a dwelling (likely a hermitage around the 8th/9th century), complete with door and window holes. In more recent history (1840's) the owners of Foremarke Hall undertook some additional enhancements so they could use the caves as a summerhouse and picnic spot.

Nice spot for a picnic stop, handy bench outside the church.
