ALLESTREE
WALK
An
enjoyable walk on the northern outskirts of Derby, which soon after the
start joins the Derwent Valley and heads for Duffield, before climbing
steadily up Bunker’s Hill to Quarndon. The latter section of the walk
passes through Big Wood, then along the perimeter of Allestree Golf
Course and through the old part of the village.
The
parish church of St Alkmund stands in the water-meadows of the River
Derwent, a short distance from Duffield close to the busy, main
Sheffield, Derby to London Railway Line. The footbridge over the line
provides an excellent viewing point for enthusiast and interested
spectator.
