Table of contents

The Chatsworth Aqueduct Circular Walk is a lovely Peak District adventure that will take you to a charming waterfall on the estate grounds of Chatsworth House. While out on this walk you will experience a variety of terrain that includes rugged moors, open farmland, and seren stretches of forest before arriving at the site of the falls. Trails around Chatsworth House can be busy and parking can be limited, so be sure to arrive early.

Route Description for Chatsworth Aqueduct Circular Walk

Walking the Chatsworth Aqueduct Circular is a popular outdoor activity in the Peak District due to the beautiful views of the surrounding Derbyshire countryside, as well as the chance to visit the historic Chatsworth House with its charming aqueduct waterfall. The trail sets out from the parking area and travels northwest to first traverse the rugged terrain of the moor before entering into the thick cover of the forest. After making your way through the wonderful woodland atmosphere, you will eventually arrive at the site of a lovely aqueduct that serves as a waterfall, allowing the stream to flow downhill towards the grand Chatsworth House below. After taking in the sights, head back along the trail to return to the car park where you began your scenic journey.
