Good length walk with a nice variety of terrain and some good view points.

The Tors is a short, only about a kilometre, ridge foot path that takes you from Crich to Chadwick Nick. The trail gives you good panoramic views over the Derwent Valley.

This is ancient oak woodland. A beautiful place to enjoy a quiet walk and look for wildlife. Shaw Wood is registered as a Local Wildlife site, which means it is a good habitat for a variety of creatures and a great place for us to enjoy them. In the spring the woodland floor is a carpet of bluebells and other wildflowers, which in turn attract insects, birds and small mammals.

A park donated by Robert Watchorn, in tribute to his wife. There is much more information about the whole Watchorn complex & development and about Watchorn himself on the English Heritage Pastscape website. His story takes him from a cottage on the site where the church was later built and working in Shirland pit to America where he became Secretary of the National Miners Union of America, with a gold medal for his bravery during one mining disaster. He was instrumental in passing the Factory Act, which prohibited children under 14 years of age from working 12 hour shifts in the factories. In 1905 President Roosevelt appointed him Commissioner of Immigration on Ellis Island, New York. By 1916 he was President of his own Watchorn Gas and Oil Company in Oklahoma City, which gave him the wealth to endow various churches, colleges and libraries – including in his home town of Alfreton.

Crich Memorial Tower was erected in 1923 to the memory of the 11,409 members of the Sherwood Foresters who gave their lives in the WWI.

Very pretty little wood, unusual due to the Duke's Quarries rockfaces. Nearby Cliff Quarry is the last one still working today, extracting Sandstone & Gritstone.

St. Andrew's Church. In 1856 the Revd John Wood gave land for a church to be built in Swanwick. With the aid of a donation of £3,230 from Francis Wright the building was completed in 1859 with a nave of five bays, north and south aisles, north porch and bell turret over the west gable. The pointed arches on both sides of the nave and in the chancel imply that the architect, Benjamin Wilson, had Early English architecture in mind when he designed the building. The Church celebrated its 150th Anniversary on Sunday 26 September 2010. The Bishop of Derby, the Rt Revd Dr. Alastair Redfern, presided at a celebratory service.
