Lovely little woodland walk

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.

This Grade II listed Aqueduct (also called "Aqueduct 23") was built in c.1770 by Mr Brindley to carry the Trent and Mersey canal over the River Dove. It has 12 shallow arches, and there is a dated keystone in the first arch on the Staffordshire side of the river.

This bridge (also called Eggington Bridge) was bypassed when the A38 became a dual carriageway in 1926. The current bridge dates to c.15th century, though it was widened in the 17th century. An earlier structure (pre-13th century) may have existed at this site to carry the Roman Icknield Street across the river. It is now closed to all vehicle traffic.

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.
