TuffLuff Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Spotted this the other day, does anybody know how to get there (especially that little bit at the bottom near the reservoir)? I know roughly where the quarry is but didn’t know you could get near it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 As people are talking about the coronavirus fatigue and the worries leading into the next six months it may not be the worst idea to revive this thread to try and inspire people to be active (whilst responsible ofcourse) over the coming months. Appreciate not everyone is close to Derbyshire but maybe it might remind others to at least get out around them, or I’m certainly happy to recommended spots in Staffordshire, Yorkshire and the surrounding counties. Went to Linacre Reservoir a few sundays back and was ok for a short walk although I wouldn’t say you see much. Carsington is much much better, but also more popular. Would recommend the villages and around it though. Lots of little walking spots around Cutthorpe, Barlow and Brampton area. Best walk I’ve done this year was walking along Bradford Dale and Lathkil with a stop for lunch at The Lathkil pub in Over Haddon (good covid safety to boot). The view from the pub is worth it alone. Found lots of little spots around Coal Ashton and Eckington too that are quiet and plenty of woodland. Stopped off the very top of Brassington the other day too, the rocks near the wind turbines. Another under appreciated view that’s easy to get to. Reasonably sure I’ve been through my more regular haunts before but would love to see if anybody has gone anywhere different.

TomBustler1884 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Moira Furnace is an interesting place with some short walks around. Kedleston Park, the long walk is great. Calke Abbey - Park in Ticknall, walk in, through the tunnel to the limeyards, then in the back, and down to the new cafe. Darley Park - now the Mills have a cafe, restaurant and 2 bars its a great little walk All family friendly walks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 There is a great walk in Lumsdale just outside Matlock. You can park just off the Tansley road and walk up through the old Mills and ponds then right along a cart track to Tansley village before dropping back down to the car. Nice 4 mile circular walk with loads of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Before the stupid football I had a great walk around Stoney Middleton quarry this morning. Short but unique with a good chance of seeing a Peregrine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best done on a clear day as the views are amazing. Did this on a school trip to that area. Stayed in local youth hostel (it's still there) for a few days. Had a great time!
