Wonderful place to walk around.

Super grounds with huge variety of aspects and great panoramic views over the Derwent Valley. Fascinating history relating to Mary Bowes. Pleasant cafe. All in all well worth a visit.

Had a lovely time doing the skyline walk tday.

My daughter found an Ipad in the women's toilets at the stable block. Hope it gets claimed. She handed it in at the cafe there.
