Derbyshire Walks
Starting from Grassmoor, these walks explore a landscape shaped by its mining heritage and now transformed into open green space.
The shorter option is a relaxed, family-friendly circuit of Grassmoor Country Park, with wildlife, open parkland and easy paths perfect for walking, cycling or horse riding.
The longer of the walks heads out along the historic Five Pits Trail, following the former route of the Great Central Railway through countryside and woodland.
You can even combine the walks for a longer outing, making the most of this varied and refreshing corner of Derbyshire.

Walk information
The first route option is a simple family friendly stroll around the Grassmoor Country Park that sits on the northern end of the Five Pits Trail.
The park has lots of wildlife, birdlife and pretty open parkland to explore, and it's great for walking, biking and horseback riding.

Walk information
This alternative walk option doesn't go into the Country Park like the first walk, but instead it heads in a different direction exploring other parts of the Five Pits Trail, the route of the Great Central Railway which served the five collieries.
You can expect lots of fresh air, open countryside and some lovely woodland walking on this route.
You can also do both walks one after the other, to create a longer adventure.

First-hand experiences
Not very scenic, not like going into the Peak District, but definitely a great option if there has been lots of rain and the fields are boggy.
Very nice, spacious and easy walk to follow - dog friendly and very enjoyable.

It's like sat-nav, but for footpaths.
Choose a walk and follow the pointer showing your live position on the route map, so you always know you're on the right path.
