History Walks

This is an opportunity to explore the length of the River Derwent in either one large chunk or in several, perhaps more manageable blocks.

There is plenty to see along the way, including the Derbyshire Dales and the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.

It all ends at the historic inland port of Shardlow and Derwent Mouth, where the Derwent flows into the River Trent.

We're not going to attempt to give you a step-by-step guide to the whole walk as the route is huge, but we have included a few guidelines and milestones.
