Amber Guest House

Derby Nomad Way

Loops 79km around Derby's outskirts through rolling farmland, woodland, and riverside paths with moderate climbs, particularly around the Derwent Valley. Split into manageable sections but not suitable for buggies due to stiles, uneven terrain and field crossings. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers varied landscapes from industrial heritage sites to peaceful countryside, ideal for multi-day adventures or cherry-picking shorter segments closer to the city.

Amber Valley Routeway Walk 17

Meanders through typical Amber Valley countryside with gentle to moderate inclines along established footpaths and quiet lanes. Family-friendly for older children, though uneven terrain and stiles make it unsuitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers a peaceful escape showcasing the valley's pastoral charm, with woodland sections and open farmland views that reveal why this corner of Derbyshire remains quietly beloved by local walkers.

Long Walk, Kedleston Hall

National Trust

Circles Kedleston Hall's elegant parkland on mostly flat, well-maintained paths with gentle inclines near the hall itself. Suitable for families with older children who can manage the distance, though buggies will struggle on grassier sections. Dogs welcome on leads throughout National Trust grounds. Worth doing for stunning views of the Palladian mansion, ornamental lakes, and 18th-century landscaped gardens—classic Georgian estate scenery without serious effort.
