With a sunny day at last (noticed from my blogs the lack of sunshine recently) we decided to go for a walk.  One cottage out with one due back in later in the day.  Most walks we do are based on suggested walks but today’s was one I devised so if it was horrible it was my fault! We drove to Beeley, another Chatsworth village, and set off across the fields up to Burnt Wood.  Looking back we had some nice views towards Edensor and Baslow.  Up through the trees and out on the level we now had views across the moorland.  We passed Fallinge then headed to where we lost the footpath temporarily, perhaps not being well trodden paths we could not always make them out.  Before we reached the Rowsley to Chesterfield road which we have driven along many times, we could see Bolehill in the distance.  We picked up an indistinct path down towards Tinkersley.  After we passed through the hamlet we stopped in a clearing in the wood to have lunch and have a play with the dogs.  Through Copy Wood back to the Rowsley to Chesterfield Road which we crossed then into Rowsley Wood on the Haddon Estate.  Then we walked up through Smeltingmill Wood which I thought was like Padley Gorge and at the top we found a waterfall.  What a lovely find and no other wakers to share it with!  With the disused Burntwood Quarry nearby we found this immense stone structure which we could only think was an old bridge, or possibly rail bridge to do with the mine.  Back down a track to fields outside Beeley from where we could just make out Chatsworth House (which opens again next weekend). Not for the first time on the walk we found ourselves having to cross boggy ground on planks of wood.  We thought about having a cup of tea at the Old Smithy tearoom in Beeley but with it being so nice there was no room outside for us and the dogs.  Back at our Peak District Cottages and a number of emails and telephone calls to deal with including the arriving guests who would now be arriving Monday as their car had broken down.
