Let’s head out into the beautiful Chesterfield Area countryside. Take a wildlife walk around the Avenue Washlands Nature Reserve, explore the Archaeological Way with its amazing sculptures, wander through Whitwell Woods and discover the Giant’s Staircase, or set out from Ogston Reservoir (a bird watchers paradise) for a walk to Crich and back.
New for this year is a visit to Chesterfield Museum’s offsite store which has never opened to the public before. Discover some of the larger items which haven’t been displayed, and find out how the Museum looks after the items in its care.
This is your chance to find out more about one of England’s landmark churches, Chesterfield’s famous ‘Crooked Spire’ Church. Visit again later in the week to climb the Tower for a close up view of the Spire and a bird’s eye view of Chesterfield.
Take an afternoon stroll around Chesterfield town centre to look at the different stones which were used in the buildings. Take an evening walk around Killamarsh or learn to Nordic Walk with Laura at Poolsbrook Country Park.
Enjoy the beautiful Chesterfield Area landscape and discover new walks and tours on the fifth day of the Walking Festival.
