Walking
in Derbyshire does not mean you have to visit the Peak District National
Park. There are other areas for walkers to explore which offer their
own unique qualities.
Mention
the Dark or White Peak and most people will have in mind the areas
within the boundaries of the Peak District National Park.
However that boundary is a man-made line and there are some fine
walks to be had outside these areas.
The rolling hills and wooded valleys around Chesterfield is a largely
undiscovered jewel and South Derbyshire boasts the lowlands of the
Trent Valley.
Both areas deserve more attention from walkers as a way of reducing
the pressure on the Peak District National Park and because they
offer some superb walking in their own right.
