Chatsworth and Curbar Edge

18th April 2009

I returned to the Peak District for an increasingly-sunny walk starting in Beeley. My route passed through the Chatsworth estate and along both sides of the Derwent valley as far north as Grindleford, including one of my favourite areas: Froggatt and Curbar Edges.
