What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

William Henry Davies

Included below are some walks that we’ve started and recorded our progress. We’ll update then as we progress along their routes.

The Derwent Valley Heritage Way.

The River Derwent starts up on the Derbyshire moors but this walk follows the river from its exit of the Ladybower Reservoir to its mouth as it flows into the River Trent at Shardlow

The Trent and Mersey Canal.

The canal starts from the River Trent near Shardlow and ends at Preston Brook where cargo used to be transferred to boats on the River Mersey.
