70mCLIMB

96%OFF-ROAD

Three and a half easy miles and about an hour and three quarters round Robert Adam's parkland, over the Cutler Brook bridges, past the boathouse and back up the ha-ha to the north front. Start from the National Trust car park at Kedleston, four miles north-west of the city centre and signed off the A38, free to members and paid otherwise. Dogs must be on a lead at all times in all the outdoor areas because sheep graze the park, dogs on short leads are welcome in the restaurant, shop and bookshop, and the brook and lakes give shallow drinking though the water is fenced on the dam side.

Attraction 5.0 mi SOME LIMITS

The National Tramway Museum

Crich · DE4 5DP

Crich Tramway Village, where a mile of restored street tramway runs through a recreated period village on a quarry ledge above the Derwent. Dogs on leads are welcome across most of the site, including the indoor exhibition halls, the ground floor of the Red Lion pub and on the trams themselves, usually on the lower deck. The main cafe is the exception, and everything is conditional on leads at all times.

Pub 5.6 mi DOGS WELCOME

The Feather Star

Wirksworth · DE4 4ET

Small modern bar in the middle of Wirksworth, well kept beer and no fruit machines. Dog friendly by its own description, and a short walk from the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway station and the path up to Black Rocks. A good end point for a walk down the High Peak Trail from Middleton Top.

Four and a half miles and about two and a half hours on the county council's waymarked circuit out of Wirksworth, climbing through old quarry ground to the National Stone Centre and back by Stoney Wood. Start from the Barmote Croft car park in the town centre, pay-and-display and a minute from the market place. The route uses field paths with squeeze stiles where sheep graze so a two-metre lead is needed near stock, the quarry faces are fenced but the drops behind them are real, and Stoney Wood at the end has shade and a stream in wet weather but nothing reliable in summer.

Eight miles right round the reservoir, three and a half to four hours, mostly on surfaced tracks with a mile or so of field path on the far shore and no climb worth the name. Start from the Severn Trent visitor centre between Wirksworth and Kniveton, where the car park is large, paid, and open with the centre from 10am. Severn Trent requires dogs to be on a lead at all times here because of the wildlife, the shoreline is fenced along the sailing and wildlife sections though there are shallow inlets on the Millfields side, and the cafe has outdoor tables where dogs are welcome.

Off-lead allowed

Two and three quarter miles and about an hour and three quarters on waymarked woodland circuits with a short scramble up onto the gritstone outcrop for a view over the whole Derwent valley. Start from the Black Rocks car park above Cromford, a county council site where charges apply at £3.50 for three hours or £7 all day, with toilets and picnic tables. The forest tracks are wide, shaded and free of livestock so a dog can be off the lead under close control, but the top of the outcrop is a genuine unfenced cliff used by climbers and no place for a loose dog, and there is no water on the route.

The High Peak Trail at Middleton Top

Wirksworth

Seventeen and a half miles of the Cromford and High Peak Railway, running from High Peak Junction at Cromford up to Dowlow near Buxton and meeting the Tissington Trail at Parsley Hay. It is traffic-free and surfaced throughout, so it walks well in winter and suits wheels and old dogs, but note the inclines: cyclists and riders are directed round the western route at Middleton Top. The 1829 winding engine at the top of the incline opens on selected weekends, and there is a shop, cycle hire and toilets at the car park.

Oakhill Cromford

Cromford · DE4 3RH

Georgian house turned small hotel in Arkwright's village, a short walk from the mills and the canal. Dogs stay in The Oaks and are welcome in every public area except the restaurant; say you are dining with a dog when you reserve and you will be put in the bar. Ideal for the High Peak Trail and the Cromford Canal towpath.

Pub 6.7 mi DOGS WELCOME

The Silk Mill

Derby · DE1 3AF

City-centre pub on Full Street beside the old silk mill, under the same ownership as the Exeter Arms and equally clear about dogs being welcome. A practical stop at the southern end of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, which the mill next door begins. Food is served all day.

Attraction 6.7 mi DOGS WELCOME

Cromford Mills

Cromford · DE4 3RQ

Arkwright's 1771 mill, the birthplace of the factory system and the anchor of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Well-behaved dogs are welcome across the site and in both cafes, though individual shops set their own policy, and the riverside meadow beyond the mill walls is the designated spending area. Guided mill tours, woodland paths and the canal towpath all start here.

Ten and a half miles there and back along a dead-level towpath through the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, four to four and a half hours, and one of the few long days in Derbyshire with no climbing in it at all. Start from Cromford Wharf, a county council car park where charges apply at £3.50 for three hours or £7 all day, 8am to 8pm from April to October and 9am to 5pm in winter. The towpath is a Site of Special Scientific Interest with water voles and nesting waterfowl so keep a dog out of the reed margins, close control is enough on the path itself, and Leawood Pumphouse and High Peak Junction both break the walk up with something to look at.

Pub 6.7 mi DOGS WELCOME

The Exeter Arms

Derby · DE1 2EU

Snug-and-settle city pub off Exeter Place, better known for its kitchen than its beer garden. The pub's own front page says it is a dog friendly pub, which in the middle of Derby narrows the field considerably. Five minutes from the cathedral and the river.

Carsington Water

Carsington · DE6 1ST

Severn Trent reservoir on the southern edge of the Peak, with a visitor centre, cycle hire and a circuit of the water through woodland and bird hides. Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control and on a lead at all times, because of the wildfowl the reservoir was built to attract. Parking is paid on exit or within 24 hours through the Trust app.

100%OFF-ROAD

Seven and a half miles there and back on the old Cromford and High Peak Railway, three and a half hours, level and surfaced apart from the long shallow gradient of the incline. Start at Middleton Top engine house above Wirksworth, a county council car park charging £3.50 for three hours and £7 all day, with a visitor centre, cycle hire and toilets. The trail is traffic-free and wide, so close control is enough rather than a lead, but it is exposed with no shade and no water for miles, and the embankments run through sheep pasture where a lead is needed if stock have strayed onto the verges.
