Overview

The walk, staring from Baslow, explores the Chatsworth Estate above the house, and then follows a concessionary path over the moors, visiting a prehistoric tumulus. Passing the Robin Hood Inn, we rise back onto the edges to visit Nelson's and Wellington's Monuments to enjoy the views, before returning to Baslow.
