⛅️Rowsley 9 miles Bluebell Walk🪻Northwood Carr🪻Hallmoor Wood🪻Halldale Wood⛅️

This walk promises pretty woodland hillsides and scenic views through moorland. As well as riverside paths and pretty villages.

The first of our Bluebell walks takes a route from Rowsley through Tinkersley Copy woods and Northwood Carr.
These Woodlands have an abundance of bluebells in Spring, especially Northwood Carr Woods.

Our first encounter is Tinkersley farm, there's a grassy bank with beautiful views towards Stanton Moor opposite, a lovely place to stop for a snack and photos

Our route takes us into Northwood Carr woods, there should be a carpet of beautiful bluebells around us as we walk through these pretty woods.
Our route emerges from the woodland and follows a lane with pretty cottages and beautiful views of the hillside opposite us.
Darley Hillside is a small village situated on a hillside overlooking the River Derwent surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The route enters Hallmoor woods ascending towards Halldale woods with steep banks of large rock boulders from the many quarries in the area.
The path goes through Halldale Woods walking alongside the Brook.

Eventually, the path emerges onto green pastures and many beech trees along the path. It takes us to a lane where it passes the trig point of Big Bumper Piece, as we come onto the moorland of Fallinge Edge, we take a short detour to explore the trigpoint and area.

Heading away from it, our route rejoins the woodland path but along the upper part above Tinkersley.
Eventually our path comes down through Copy woods and crosses Dale Road, here it joins the riverside path back to our carpark in Rowsley.

During the walk, we make sure everyone is ok with catching up points and breaks along the way. As well as supporting eachother and taking our time to enjoy the beauty of our surroundings.
Enjoyment is first and foremost, as well as respecting slower walkers..
