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.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

Report

I walked this route from Chesterfield. After a wet period it was muddy underfoot in places. The exit from Chesterfield is via the market place and through Queens Park and then follows the course of the River Hipper, with various old and derelict industrial sites along the way. There are the remains of mill water channels and ponds. Various interpretation panels tell the history along the trail. After a muddy woodland section we reach open country close to Somersall Hall and then it is across the fields to Holymoorside.
The route now rises more steeply on a quiet road to begin with and then a lane past wellspring farm. There are good view back into the Rother Valley. After dropping through Nab Plantation on a muddy path we join a wider trail (Hungerhill Lane) over the ridge to reach Dean Farm. The Darley road is busy, but there is a wide verge and it is straight enough to see vehicles approaching. Shortly, we join a quiet road to reach Peasunhurst Lane, this becomes a muddy field path to reach Hodge Lane. We follow the quiet lane westward and eventually cross the busy B5057. An undefined path heads up the rough grass to reach the footpath with heads across the fields to Darley Grange. From here we turn southwards on a quiet lane before joining the forestry track heading southwards to Two Dales. It is easy to follow and brings us to the crossroads at Darley Dale where the route ends/begins. An enjoyable route. Shops and pub in Holymoorside for those who need it.
