This varied walk is one not to miss, with beautiful scenic Woodland Tracks and Pastures along this route. Our scenic walk starts from the Village of Rowsley which is positioned at the point where the River Wye meets the River Derwent. The rivers attract anglers from all over the world, being home to wild rainbow trout, brown trout and grayling. The Peacock Pub is Grade II-listed and dates from 1652, originally built as a manor house. The Grouse and Claret was built after the arrival of the railway in 1849, at which time it was the Station Hotel. Our walk climbs up through Rowsleymoor Woods along a twisting woodland path. We emerge onto green pastures with far reaching views of the Chatsworth Estate. Our route continues to the picturesque Market Town of Bakewell, famous for its Bakewell pudding. It lies on the banks of the River Wye with its medieval five-arched bridge, one of the oldest in the country. An opportunity for lunch in the park and a toilet stop..
