Smooth and relatively quiet section of old railway between Brighton and Staveley. Part of the wider Trans Pennine Trail and Route 67 of the Sustrans network.
The trail is designed to connect with the existing NCN route 67 between Chesterfield and Grassmoor, being a new trail it currently lacks signage so finding it and following it is harder than you would expect.
Set of 4 ponds draining into the River Maun. Lovely, peaceful spot. You might see the odd kingfisher flying around if you’re lucky. Great place to walk but can get a bit muddy after heavy rain.
