Less than 30 minutes from Derby and starting from Carsington Water, this guided walk rises up onto high pastureland, providing quick relief from ‘everyday bustle’. A choice of distances and
ascents also makes it adaptable for families and those dedicated hill walkers who might be less mobile.
The walk starts on the edge of Carsington Water, between the historic market towns of Wirksworth and Ashbourne. It rises onto high pastures with stunning views over the 750 acre reservoir
below. Your leader will tell you about the pasture’s ancient lead mines, now replaced with giant and impressive wind turbines which you pass close by. Crossing the High Peak Trail, you
climb to the trig point at Harborough Rocks (1,243 feet/379 metres) with its jagged Dolomitic Limestone and popular with local rock climbers. Dropping into Brassington Village, the walk
winds its way back on a miners path amongst sheep pastures, back to Carsington Village and down to the reservoir shore where you started.
Both Brassington and Carsington villages have good pubs and local accommodation. The reservoir offers a visitor centre, bird hides, catering facilities, watersports and cycle hire.
The distance of this guided walk is about 7 miles/11 kilometres with a height gain of 1138 feet/347 metres - it can be adapted to suit group, family or private bookings.
