Description
This is a good walk, easy to follow along generally decent paths. The section Derby to Markeaton Park offers a good multi-user route. It then becomes a country walk so there are stiles, cattle, cross field paths but to Maynall Langley it's still simple to follow. From Mercaston it picks up the Centenary Way which is better maintained and used than the Bonnie Prince Charlie Way. There are services on route but inns may not be open especially mid-week. Derby to Brailsford is on high ground with excellent views. Brailsford has a safe crossing of the busy A52 and is about half way it offers a well stocked shop and the Ashbourne to Derby bus if you need to split the walk or bail out. I dedicate this walk to Lynn

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
