The walk
Bluebank Pools Walk
This is a lovely short family-friendly, and accessible for all, pub walk around the Bluebank Pools Nature Reserve, close to Chesterfield.
You can expect woodland with bluebells in the spring, lots of nature and wild meadows, a long stretch of walking alongside the canal and of course a nice canalside pub at the start for refreshments.

Walker review
Didn't visit the pub, so cant comment. Since the walk is called Blue Bank pools it may have been useful to point out where they were on the map and perhaps other points of interest. Fortunately, on this walk, there was an information board by the side of the canal which you may have taken into account.
