Discover a charming countryside walk starting from the layby on Potato Pit Lane, a convenient pull-in spot opposite Dale Road. This easy-going route takes you across scenic fields and loops around the historic grounds of Hopwell Hall, offering classic undulating Derbyshire scenery.
A highlight of the walk is passing the well-known Hopwell Hall Farm Alpacas, providing a unique point of interest. The footpaths are well-trodden and cross pleasant farmland, though be prepared for numerous stiles and small bridges that cross streams along the way.
The perfect end to your walk is a visit to The Cowshed cafe. This very popular and welcoming spot is a must for a well-earned treat. It's also dog-friendly, with great food and plenty of seating both indoors and out. From the cafe, it's just a short, flat stroll back to your car, making for an easy and satisfying finish.
