Created by Aiden Shingler, a 21st century stone circle and celestial amphitheatre located at the highest point of Stoney Wood.

Behold StarDisc, an interesting 21st century stone circle perched atop a hill in Wirksworth in the Derbyshire Dales. The monument was created by artist Aidan Shingler and stands in a commanding position overlooking the Ecclesbourne Valley and village below. It's a beloved local destination renowned for hosting a myriad of community activities that encompass art, creativity, education, science, and fitness.

The area known as Allestree Park was enclosed in about 1818. The house begun by Bache Thornhill was completed by John Giradot (High Sheriff of Derbyshire) with three storeys and five bays, the central three bowed with an ionic columned porch. A large part of the estate was sold for housing development in 1928. The neglected house now stands in a 300-acre (1.2 km2) wooded parkland with lake, grasslands and former golf course, owned by Derby City Council. Allestree Park is designated as a Local Nature Reserve.

The 18-hole Golf Course opened in 1955, was closed in December 2020 and has now disappeared. There are several colour-coded & waymarked walking, running & nature trails to enjoy. Allestree Park is perfect for families to enjoy some fresh air and a stroll.

There are eight transmitter masts visible on the top of the hill (one of them is shorter).

Car Park has been reopened with an automatic electronic gate that's only open between set times March-Oct 8am - 7pm Nov-Feb 8am - 5pm

The Cromford Canal ran 14.5 miles (23.3 km) from Cromford just south of Matlock to the Erewash Canal. The canal was agreed in 1789 and completed by 1794. The canal mostly carried coal, iron and lead ore from the mines of the High Peak as well as spun cotton from the mills. The canal stopped being used commercially in the mid 1900's when railways took over. Some sections have been restored more recently and it's a very pleasant, flat and well surfaced trail to walk along.
