"No visit to Chatsworth is complete without a swim in the River Derwent. Wander downstream from the main bridge to make sure you're away from the prying eyes of visitors, then it**'** s an easy stroll down the grass bank into the river. Or, if you feel like making more of a splash, jump in via one of the tree swings."

Beautiful little stretch of river. Good for walk along the river in Matlock which is one of a charming place in Derbyshire. A lot of wildlife around if you’re a nature lover. Be aware if out for dog walk, use dog leads as a lot of farmer sheep around.

Lovely river with lots of lovely walks along its length 😀 with bits in the countryside and bits in the city and even through some woodland here and there. It is a nice thing to see and offers a variety of pleasant places to relax or picnic.........

One of the best rivers, it has water flowing... what more can I say; walks by this river are always enjoyable. There are nice walk ways and plenty of greenery... lots of dog walkers. Plenty of anglers can be seen on the river banks...
