These walks explore the countryside around Radbourne, where quiet lanes, open fields and scattered rural landmarks sit within a gently rolling landscape.

Both routes visit St Andrew’s Church at the heart of the village and make use of sections of the Great Northern Greenway, while the longer walk continues further into the surrounding farmland and passes The Bluebell Inn before looping back through this peaceful stretch of Derbyshire.

Walker review

This was an enjoyable walk. Although it was busy in places, it was peaceful. It was quite flat and easy. Mixture of terrains, ...mud, grass, stones and pavement and went through fields, woodland, tracks abd houses. ...We parked on the housing waste as lay-by was small. It was musdy in parts, so wear walking shoes. ...We passed by some sheep and horses in another field ...Some lovely farm houses to look at. ...Theres a small amount of rd walking ...Make sure you walk through the church grounds and dont get shouted at by going on the farm path instead by mistake! ...Thete were 3 stiles and a couple of gates.
