Located on the edge of Chesterfield, there are three reservoirs to walk round at Linacre. There is a gentle five mile route that takes you around all three, and through the village of Old Brampton, before arriving back at the car park. Photo: RKH

7. Druids Rocks Birchover
The Rowter Rocks at Birchover have caves, rooms, tunnels, steps and even an armchair carved into the stone. Victorian tourists were lead to believe these were the work of an ancient Druid community - but were carved by a local man some 300 years ago.

Ladybower is another Derbyshire reservoir that is perfect for a steady stroll. The 5.5 mile route offers beautiful views across the water, and passes the awe-inspiring Derwent Dam along the way. Photo: Photo © Ken Bagnall (cc-by-sa/2.0)
