A Quick Walk by The River Derwent
Living near the River Derwent means we are a) very lucky and b) often walk by the river in the evenings if we’re unable to get out for one of our longer walks in the Derbyshire Peak District. Just a hundred or so meters from […]
Carsington Water In Autumn
Today we took a walk around Carsington water, a 13km circuit that we have already written up here. Our previous visit to Carsington Water was in the summer so the landscape was very different. It wasn’t too cold (around 6-7 degrees for the most part) […]

Walking Around Derwent and Howden Reservoirs
Some of the nicest places to walk in the Peak District are the reservoirs. Many are easily circumnavigated by well-maintained paths and for the most part are flat, or flat-ish because they follow the shoreline. They vary in size but some of the biggest are […]
Christmas at Chatsworth House
We popped over to Chatsworth House the other day to visit the Christmas Market and take a look at the Nutcracker themed Christmas decorations in the house. Great for the kids with many of the staff in costume and a lot of different decorations along […]

Ascending Grindslow Knoll in Edale
We decided to climb Grindslow Knoll on one of the warmest days of the year but the following day was even hotter so on reflection I’m glad we did it when we did. J Parking in Edale is always fun as it’s such a busy […]

Tittesworth Reservoir Gallery
I took these today at Tittesworth Reservoir in Staffordshire just south of the Peak District. We were hoping to walk around the entire reservoir but unfortunately Severn Trent Water are currently performing maintenance on the paths, which is great, but stopped us from completing a […]
