About
This linear walk from Chesterfield to Dronfield passing through Holmebrook Valley Park, Cutthorpe, Barlow and Cowley will delight those who enjoy quiet country tracks linking the villages and hamlets in this area.
The North Chesterfield Way is a route devised and implemented by Dronfield Footpaths & Bridleways Society in an initiative led by Barry Jex and it takes us through pleasant rolling parkland, countryside, lovely villages and hamlets with some surprises on our way.
There's the chance to discover something about the industrial heritage and history of the area and as the Spring flowers should be on display, we could learn what their names are.
We'll take a short break at Holmebrook Valley Park and have lunch at Barlow Trout Ponds but stop as and when required to take in the views and curiosities.
Return to Chesterfield or elsewhere is by public transport and the leaders will be on hand to help steer you on your way.
