Locko Park Lake and Mansion View

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautiful privately owned estate with a footpath leading through to Stanley and Dale Abbey which is a nice circular walk, it has a big lake with lots of wild birds. Usually a fairly quiet place for walking and most Bank Holiday weekends you will see the 'Vikings' who camp for a couple of days and reenact fighting in full viking gear.

Hermitage Cave (Hermit's Wood, Derby)

Highlight • Forest

Follow the steps up the tree-lined banks of Hermit's Wood and you will come across an intriguing cave with an arched doorway. This is the Hermitage and it was carved by Cornelius, a local baker from Derby.

In around 1130, he was led to this spot after a vision of the Virgin Mary. She told him to come to this spot and live a life of solitary prayer. Later, he also built a small chapel on the site, one of the smallest churches in England.

Dale Abbey Arch

Highlight • Religious Site

The ruins of Dale Abbey are all that is left of a former Premonstratensian abbey that, after a few false starts, was founded in the early 13th century. The ruins stand in the pleasant village of the same name.

Today, the magnificent arch of the east window is a dramatic sight. It is a poignant reminder of the faded grandeur of the monasteries.
