홀리무어사이드와 월튼 최고의 러닝 경로

There seems to be no public access from the road to this trig point unless you fancy jumping a wall and barbed wire. I didn't fancy that.

Great views but exposed to weather

Lovely quiet route; surface sketchy in parts but that doesn’t matter when you’re climbing!

Busy place yet still manages to have a relaxed atmosphere in the sunshine

Smooth uphill from the bypass cycle lane which emerges right near the railway station. Worth a look to see the statue of George Stephenson, father of the railways!

Queen's Park was opened in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. In its early days, the Park was a popular venue for rallies and demonstrations. When the Derbyshire Miners' Associatiion held their rally here at the end of the 1890s it had a festive appeal with swingboats, roundabouts and coconut shies. The Park has been restored, with a café, lake and miniature railway, as well as playing facilities for younger visitors. There is also a bandstand - sit and listen to a local brass band playing on some Sunday afternoons during the summer.

Building of the church began in 1234 AD, though the present church dates predominantly from the 14th century. Designated a Grade I listed building in 1971, St Mary's is best known for its twisted and leaning spire (known as the Crooked Spire). It is the largest parish church in the Diocese of Derby and forms part of the Archdeaconry of Chesterfield. In 1994, it also became the UK's only representative in the Association of the Twisted Spires of Europe; of the 72 member churches, it is deemed to have the greatest lean and twist.
