About the walk

Enjoy an eight-mile or shorter 2 mile family walk around Carsington Water, an award winning venue that makes for a full fun-packed day out in the heart of the Derbyshire countryside.  Both walks will start at the picnic area to the right of the visitor centre and will take you around the lovely Carsington Water where you will enjoy the wonderful wildlife and fantastic views.  There is a pub en-route where you can stop for a well earned break, before making your way back to the restaurant and shops at the visitor centre.
