Thur. 16th Nov. 2023

Meet to leave at 11:00 am at SK 3391 6924 opposite the Bull’s Head Pub,
Cotton Mill Hill, HOLYMOORSIDE. There is normally street parking
available on both sides of the road.
From the Bull’s Head we go east, briefly touching Walton Back Lane, then
6
turning NW across fields to Chander Hill. We then join a section of the
Round Chesterfield Walk to Nether Loads and continue south with good
views to the east over Chesterfield and surrounding countryside.
Descending diagonally down to Harewood Road we cross this and climb the
track through Corporation Wood to reach the Darley Road opposite the Pig
of Lead – Stonedge Cupola – the oldest freestanding industrial chimney in
Britain built in 1770. We then take a left turning through Stonedge Golf
Club and head north through Walton Hay Wood descending back to
Holymoorside, emerging past the mill pond onto Cotton Mill Hill. 10.3km
+/- 298m.
Please let me know if you are thinking of joining me on this walk.
