The walk
Beeley Walk
This wonderful walk takes you from the pretty village of Beeley to the remote high moors above Chatsworth House and gives outstanding views over the Derwent Valley.
You will wander over many burial mounds from communities long gone including what is known as 'Hob Hurst's House', a square mound named after a local goblin! You will also enjoy walking through woodland.
This is a fairly strenuous walk with quite a long steep climb and some gates and stiles. It is open moorland so can be exposed in poor weather. Refreshments are available from the picturesque Devonshire Arms pub or local cafe in Beeley.
