Walk Description:

Brassington / Carsington Two-Hour Saturday Walk (instead of Bennerly Viaduct walk)  Included in the Direct Debit payment plan

Starting from Wirksworth Dale in Brassington, this circular walk heads up onto the uplands above Carsington, offering wide, open stretches with superb views across the surrounding landscape. The route passes through areas rich in historic interest, including traces of old mining activity and ancient field boundaries that reveal the area’s long history of human settlement.

A moderate walk, it features a mix of lanes, field paths, and moorland, rewarding walkers with panoramic views over Carsington Water and the rolling Derbyshire countryside.

Location Notes:

Use What3Words for this location. Please note this postcode is approximate as there are no buildings on the lane. Look out for Wirksworth Dale lane on the other side of the road in between the two lanes Kings Hill and bowling Green. This car park is free and keeps us away from clogging the village up.
