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
National Trust car park at Kedleston Hall, off the Kedleston road DE22 5JH
Parking
Large National Trust car park, free to members and paid otherwise; rarely full, and four miles from Derby city centre
Directions to the start →

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.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs must be kept on a lead at all times in all outdoor areas at Kedleston because of the grazing sheep; dogs on short leads are welcome in the restaurant, bookshop and shop.
