About
Join one of the Derbyshire Countryside Service team on a walk along the Chesterfield Canal towpath.
There is lots of new development coming up and we’ll chat about the effects and changes this might bring between Chesterfield Waterside and the Staveley Town Basin.
As this is a linear walk, you will return to the train station via public transport once the walk has ended unless you make other arrangements.
