About the Book

In this book: each chapter features a different walk and contains clear and precise walk data with a map, and gives information on local conveniences, refreshments and other places of interest in the locality; every route offers the option of the long walk or the shorter version; and, route details give facts on various landmarks passed by, the history of each place and some feature tales of famous names connected to the area. The Derwent Valley is one of this country's finest assets, both from the point of view of its heritage and magnificent scenery. Although only about 60 miles in length, it fills mighty reservoirs near its source, and has been harnessed to power mills and, most importantly played an outstanding part in the Industrial Revolution. This was recognised in 2001, when the Derwent Valley was awarded World Heritage Status, the site running from Masson Mill at Matlock Bath to the former Derby Silk Mill, a distance of approximately 15 miles. It is the only World Heritage Site in the East Midlands. In this title, the walks and features are designed to enable visitors to discover this unique and stunningly beautiful valley, both from the valley floor and high up on the surrounding hills and cliff tops. The walks are suitable both for the long distance walker as well as for those who just want a short walk. As they can be completed in short or long stages, dependent on time and choice. In total there are twenty linear walks, and ten circular walks. The latter can all be subdivided into two short walks, making fifty walks in all to provide hours of exploration and enjoyment. Suggested refreshment stops, suitable for both linear and circular walks have been listed. Also numerous places of interest, both in the Derwent Valley and a little further away, which if you have the time, you will find well worth the effort of visiting. Some are open all year, others on a more restricted basis.
