Overview

The walk passes through the scenic Osmaston Park estate, with its lake and old water mill, before reaching the villages of Shirley and Ednaston via quiet lanes. The return is on good paths via fields, tracks and grassland, keeping to the higher ground south of Osmaston Park. Includes about a mile and a half of lane walking, one short steep hill near the start and a couple of easier hills. 13 stiles
