Millfields Walks & Route Maps

This is an easy walk with only a little climbing. The route is mainly along quiet country lanes and field paths. Starting at Millfields alongside Carsington Water the circular route takes along Hays Lane and across fields to the village of Kirk Ireton, where there is a pub for you to enjoy a drink and something to eat.

After a pleasant wander around the village you travel back towards Carsington Water over fields and along Oldfield Lane. All the way you will enjoy lovely views towards the Reservoir.

When you arrive back at Carsington Water there is a short stroll alongside the water where you can keep a lookout for some of the wildlife there before returning to your starting point.

Carsington Water is one of Derbyshire's newest and most popular tourist attractions (hence it can be busy at weekends in the Summer). This is an easy walk which includes a walk along the dam wall. It will take you through lovely countryside and give you some amazing views over the reservoir

You will travel to the pretty little village of Hognaston and if you want to stop for a drink and a bite to eat you can visit the award winning Knockerdown Inn which is great for all the family. This has been highlighted on the walk map.

Carsington Water is an ideal location to spot wildlife and if you can allow time to visit the Carsington Wildlife Centre.
