Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Starts at
Chatsworth main car park, or the free roadside parking on the Baslow to Beeley park road DE45 1PP
Parking
Paid car park at Chatsworth, free to members; free roadside spaces along the park road between Baslow and Beeley fill by 10am at weekends
Directions to the start →

Five miles and about two and three quarter hours round Capability Brown's parkland, over the Derwent bridges, up to the Queen Mary's Bower side and back along the river through open pasture. Start from the main Chatsworth car park, which charges by the day and is free to Chatsworth members, or park free on the Baslow to Beeley road and walk in through the park gates. Dogs must be on a lead everywhere in the park and garden because of the deer and grazing sheep, they are not allowed in the farmyard or playground although tie-up posts are provided, and there are drinking stations by the toilets and in the Stables courtyard plus a dog-friendly area inside the cafe.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs must be kept on a lead at all times in the park and garden because of wildlife and livestock, and are not allowed in the farmyard or adventure playground; tie-up posts stand outside the farmyard and near the Game Larder.
