Wed 10 July 2019 By David Higley

You might have obtained a leaflet about the Derwent Valley Heritage Way. Although still useful, the leaflet was printed a number of years ago and some of the information is now out of date. This page provides updates.

Derwent Valley Heritage Way guidebook

The guidebook can be purchased from our eBay shop and from some local bookshops in the Derwent Valley.

Cycling in the Derwent Valley

The Derby cycle route guide is available from the Derby Connected website

Easy Planning for Walkers

The package described in the leaflet as available from the Tourist Information Office is no longer offered.

However various holiday companies offer similar packages including Brigantes

Other walking opportunities

A list of various walks maintained by Amber Valley Borough Council can be found on the Amber Valley website.

Tourist Information Centres

Information on the Derwent Valley can be found at visitor information centres throughout Derbyshire.
