BASLOW & CHATSWORTH PARK, DERBYSHIRE
Thursday 14 October 2026

We’ve agreed to visit a much loved previous location after our intended walk from The Navigation Inn at Breaston had to be called off. The current tenants of the said pub are due to leave in early October and as such we cannot be certain if the pub will even be open. Therefore our next walk will be around the Chatsworth Estate as shown below:

START POINT: The Wheatsheaf Hotel, Nether End, Baslow, Derbyshire DE45 1SR Tel: 01246 582240

TIME: 10.00am assemble for tea/coffee at The Wheatsheaf

DIRECTIONS: The Wheatsheaf Hotel is on the right hand side of the A619 from Chesterfield just as you enter Baslow. There is plenty of parking at the hotel (we’ve been asked to use the top car park).

WALK: The walk is just under 4 miles. Starting from the Wheatsheaf we will follow the River Derwent to Chatsworth House (Loo stop at the House!!) We will return via the top paths near the woodland in the park. As last time we won’t go up to the Hunting Tower as it is steep and some, if not most of us now, are probably not as able to cope with the climb.
