8 Mile Circular Walk in Derbyshire from Spondon to Ockbrook then to Dale Abbey and back – with a cheeky little cob and couple of pints in The Carpenters
What a lovely way to start the new year!
Well we certainly felt like we needed a good walk after all the Christmas eating and drinking and this walk was lovely – even though we did end up back at the pub!!
The Carpenters is a lovely pub and we had a delicious cheese and onion cob with a couple of pints. They had lots of choice for lunch and it’s a pub that’s well worth a visit if you’re in Dale Abbey.






Even though it was cold it was a bright and lovely day for a walk.

We walked through Locko Park on the way back which was beautiful as the sun was setting and it was a lovely end to the day.
