Overview

A circular walk heading to the village of Dale Abbey to see the remains of the Augustinian Abbey, the uniquely idiosyncratic, Grade 1 listed, All Saints Church and the nearby Hermitage Cave. Along the way we pass through the 18th Century Moravian Settlement at Ockbrook and the grounds of Locko Park.
