"Spring has arrived – and the sun has melted the ice on the mill pond. Its rays reach to the bottom of the pond – and tickle awake the little water sprite, who has been hibernating with his mermaid parents. And what's the first thing a curious little water sprite does? Spring cleaning with his mother? Repairing the broken roof of the water sprite's house? Wrong! Of course, the little water sprite's first priority is to meet his old friend, Cyprinus the carp... The little water sprite isn't quite as cheeky here as in the 1955 original – but Daniel Napp's little spring story has been enchantingly illustrated. A magical, endearing, and ageless reading experience for children ages 4 and up." The Stiftung Lesen (Reading Foundation) reviews a four-volume sequel to the popular "The Little Water Sprite" by Otfried Preußler (1923 to 2013), which guides children through the seasons in this children's book series.

Good foot paths around Linacre , very wet and muddy once you leave them . Good waterproof boots and gaiters recommend .

Walton Dam was built in the 18th century to provide a water supply for Walton Manor Corn Mill. The site was bought by Robinson’s in 1899, as a source of water for their cotton wool production. Later it provided an area for sporting and leisure activities for staff. Chesterfield Swimming Club also held events there.

There are three beautiful reservoirs at Linacre, aptly named Lower, Middle, and Upper, going from east to west. The reservoirs are surrounded by fields and woodland with a network of trails and footpaths. The woods are beautiful and include oak, beech, alder, larch, and pine, and in the springtime they are carpeted with bluebells. It is a scenic area, and there is a public car park on the northern edge of the woods of the Lower Reservoir.

Not great to walk around unless you want to walk on the road a lot. There is no direct access to the reservoir because it is a conservation site. The car park is free and there are benches to sit on to watch the birds. Ognaston Bird Club conducts a guided bird walk on the first Saturday of each month and everyone is welcome. With them, you can access the reservoir surrounding areas to watch birds. If you want great views of the reservoir however you can combine a visit with a footpath walk up from the reservoir through fields and these are quite well signposted and accessible except from a slim squeeze with a holly hedge on one side and part of a footpath which is quite nettly - but will probably be okay by Autumn.

The Mill Pond (aka Lower Pond) was originally a quarry but was converted into a reservoir in 1850 to supply a continuous flow of water to power machinery.

Ogston Reservoir was created by flooding the local valley in 1958. The flooding covered the village of Woolley as well as a pub, farmland and a section of the Ashover Light Railway. The reservoir provides drinking water to the local area and is also used as a holding reservoir for Carsington Water. Today it's managed as a water source and leisure ground. The footpaths around the reservoir are popular locally. The Ogston sailing club is known for starting off Ellen MacArthur and it's also a popular trout fishing lake.

Walton Dam, part of the Hipper Valley Trail linking Somersall Park with Queens Park & Chesterfield Town Centre.

Peaceful spot to grab a quick rest watching the wildlife on the pond/lake. Nice easy family peddling if you want to take the kids to feed the ducks too 👍🏻

Worth getting off the bike and taking time to walk along the lake to enjoy the peace and quiet! Hard to believe that there are busy shopping areas just beyond the tree line.

Lovely spot with parking available.

A large country park on the outskirts of Chesterfield with a beautiful lake to cycle and walk around. The gravel paths link in with the other cycle routes around Chesterfield. http://www.holmebrookvalleypark.org.uk/

This is a lovely place just west of Chesterfield just on the edge of the Peak District. It’s three reservoirs and some lovely woods with trunk carvings. Great for kids. It’s mostly flat so a good option for people who want to get out without feeling too intense.

Holmebrook Valley Park is a great place for people of all ages to get into biking (it got me started 25+ years ago. Nothing challenging or technical just wide gravel fire roads. Some surfaces are chunkier and there is some wash out damage so be wary. You can take a few climbs and descents but really it's about tootling around. I normally pass through up to Linacre just further up..

Easy walk around Linacre reservoirs near Chesterfield. Well surfaced tracks but it can get muddy in wet weather. You can cycle around the middle and lower reservoirs and these can easily link up to the Linacre MTB routes as seen in the excellent Vertabrae publishing White Peak book.

The old "donkey racecourse" route has been developed into a large park with several cycle paths around it. Good place to get used to mountain biking as it has some climbs and descents and a loose gravel surface. There is a hidden "mountain bike route" but it is best avoided as it is poorly maintained and badly designed.
