It's been so long since I was last here, I had forgotten how beautiful a walk it was. Managed to today, whilst the sun was out. There seems to be a number of walks, which I look forward to exploring in the future. But definitely a lovely place, whether you're walking the dogs or having a leisurely stroll.

A lovely place for a walk with some lovely scenery, a nice lake and hall plus some fantastic old wood land to explore lot of public footpaths crossing the land and if very lucky you mite see a deer or 2, in spring time the woods are full of bluebells,

Viking Festival 2022 was a brilliant spectacle and an all round entertaining and educational experience. I loved the Viking village and talking to the people there, all have invested so much of their time to be as authentic as possible to give the public a taste and a snapshot of everyday Viking life. The battles were ferocious at times, the chinking sound of steel striking steel filled the air as axes and swords were weald about, shields were smashed, bruised bodies littered the field but thankfully there were no serious injuries.

A beautiful and elegant 300 acre park and Country House in Dale Abbey Spondon. Nice wide footpath leading to the 18th century Country House which has been tastefully restored. It is an exclusive Wedding location and also a venue for corporate events and Country Fairs. The oldest part of the house is the chapel of 1669. On the walk up to the house is a stunning 16 acre lake the kind you would expect in a Jane Austen novel.Parking is on the left verge after the park and is limited so it's best to park at Bluebell Farm were you can get nice Coffee and cake to finish your lovely walk

Lovely park which is well kept and is used for many agricultural shows and events. Large manor house which is not open to the public but you can walk through to the lake. Bring back the strawberry picking that was fantastic

A beautiful and lovely park to walk through and explore. Lake with private house.
