A fairly easy walk through three classic English landscapes; tended parkland, farmland and old woodland. Has fine views of Chatsworth that can’t be seen from any road, and passes through the unusual “model†village of Edensor.
This walk is one of six leaflets describing walks in the Peak District that can be reached by public transport from Chesterfield, for people without cars, or who want to leave the car at home. To see all six walks and download their leaflet of the walk (with detailed bus information) visit:

As the author "timmy" says, bus ride from Chesterfield (Church with twisted spire), guided tours of inside and up well worth doing before taking bus, when reaching Bakewell, a lovely little town, there is a nice circular walk from old railway station, along old railway bed and back, see Flickr popular tags CARFREEWALKS.
