Sunday November 2nd
Calton Lees and Edensor We parked at Calton Lees near Chatsworth and set off in the hope of having some fresh air and good views. The first section of the walk takes one up to Calton Pastures, which although they would not pass for Alpine meadows, are nonetheless pleasant to walk across. We stopped for lunch on a little bench in a wooded knoll and then descended towards Edensor, enjoying the sight of the row of barns in the fields around. Winter light on barns and fields On the way into Edensor we had a view of both the church and the hunting tower in the distance. St Peter's and the Hunting Tower We had a takeaway hot drink at the Tea Rooms which was welcome and made our way down to Chatsworth Park and the return journey. The sight of the golden framed windows and statues atop the great house looked magnificent in the afternoon sun. We finished the walk and agreed it was a satisfying way to spend Sunday afternoon. A walk of 6.4 miles with 260m ascent.
