Wilderness Walk, Kedleston Hall
2.6 miles (4.2 km), circular. Under an hour, easy.
Start: SK 313 407, and finish. OS grid.
Take it with you: download the GPX file of the part mapped so far (it opens in OS Maps, Komoot, Outdooractive or a GPS unit) or open the start in OS Maps.
Map incomplete. OpenStreetMap has about 2.2 miles of its 2.6 miles so far, so the map and our measured distance fall short of the real thing. See the whole route on the publisher’s page. Know the route? Its line comes from OpenStreetMap, which anyone can add to: the missing part shows here the next time we refresh from it.
