9. Monsal trail
The Monsal Trail runs between Wye Dale and Bakewell, and contains plenty of greenery. The trail is relatively flat, but does span 13.6 kilometres - meaning you’ll have earned that pint at The Manners in Bakewell by the end. Photo: Google
10. Osmaston Park
The scenic walk through Osmaston Park towards the village of Shirley and back is great if you want to catch a glimpse of the picturesque old sawmill - and the 4.5 mile route will take you back to the Shoulder of Mutton in Osmaston. © John Sutton - geograph.org.uk/p/6164714 Photo: cc-by-sa/2.0 - © John Sutton - geograph.org.uk/p/6164714
