DOGS WELCOME

Ashbourne tunnel and Church Banks stroll

Ashbourne · DE6 2AA

2.6MILES

1:10TIME

50mCLIMB

80%OFF-ROAD

Off-lead allowed

Two and a half miles there and back, an hour at most, out through the lit railway tunnel under the town and back by the Henmore Brook and Church Banks. Start from the Mapleton Lane car park at the Tissington Trail head, pay-and-display and the closest parking to the tunnel mouth. Level and surfaced almost throughout, so a good short leg-stretch for a dog that cannot manage hills, with close control rather than a lead needed on the trail, a shallow paddle in the Henmore, and a short pavement section on Church Street where a lead goes back on.

4.6 MI · OUT & BACK

DOGS WELCOME

Repton and Willington: the Trent and Mersey towpath

Repton

4.6MILES

2:00TIME

20mCLIMB

Off-lead allowed

Four and a half miles there and back on the flat, two hours, along the Trent and Mersey towpath with the option of crossing the Trent bridge into Repton for the abbey church and the village. Start from the county council picnic site at Willington, a mile and a half from Repton, which is free and gives direct access to the towpath. Level, surfaced and traffic-free the whole way, so close control is enough rather than a lead, the canal is deep with steep sides so a dog that swims needs watching between locks, and there are pubs at both the Willington and Repton ends with outside tables.

4.2 MI · LOOP

Calke Abbey parkland and woodland

Ticknall · DE73 7LE

4.2MILES

2:10TIME

130mCLIMB

Off-lead allowed Livestock — leads on In the dining room

Four and a quarter miles and a little over two hours through the deer park, the ancient oaks and the woodland rides of a National Trust estate that has been left deliberately unmanicured. Start from the main Calke car park a mile inside the gates from Ticknall, free to members and paid otherwise, and note the estate gates close in the early evening. Dogs are free to roam the parkland under close control, which makes Calke unusual among big houses, and are welcome on short leads in the stableyards, gardens, restaurant and shop; the park holds red and fallow deer and grazing sheep, so recall needs to be genuine or the lead goes on.

Elvaston Castle Country Park

Derby · DE72 3EP

3.5MILES

1:40TIME

30mCLIMB

Off-lead allowed

Three and a half flat miles and an hour and three quarters round the lake, the avenues and the old kitchen garden walls, on made paths that stay walkable in winter. Start from the county council car park off Borrowash Road, five miles south-east of Derby, where charges apply at £3.50 for three hours and £7 all day, 8am to 8pm from April to October. This is one of the most dog-used parks in the county with tie-up points by the information centre and around the courtyards, dogs need only close control on the main park but must be on a lead in the central courtyards, and dogs are not allowed into the local nature reserve at all.

4.4 MI · LOOP

Foremark Reservoir and Carver's Rocks

Repton · DE65 6EG

4.4MILES

2:10TIME

100mCLIMB

Four and a half miles and a little over two hours round the reservoir on woodland trails, with a short spur to the sandstone outcrop and bog of Carver's Rocks at the southern end. Start from the Severn Trent car park off the Ticknall road above Milton, two miles from Repton, which is paid and closes at dusk. Severn Trent requires dogs to be on a lead at all times here because of the wildlife, the shoreline is largely fenced with no swimming, and the Carver's Rocks nature reserve section has a boardwalk over wet ground that suits paws better than the surrounding bog.

3.4 MI · LOOP

Kedleston Hall parkland

Derby · DE22 5JH

3.4MILES

1:45TIME

70mCLIMB

Livestock — leads on In the dining room

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.
