DARLEY ABBEY WALK

This splendid walk combines beautiful mature parkland scenery with a great sense of history, and the starting point for the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site and the National Heritage Corridor.

 

The walk takes you through Darley Abbey Park with its wide range of different tree species, to the historic village of Darley Abbey, at one time the largest monastic settlement in Derbyshire. It was here that the Boar’s Head Cotton Mill, now an important World Heritage Site, founded by Walter Evans began production in 1783.
