Baslow, Chatsworth Park, Chatsworth House Christmas Market, and Sheffield

This has been the walk I'd planned to do last Friday when I decided to go to Chesterfield instead because my knee was hurting me.

I caught the bus to Baslow Nether End and entered into Chatsworth Park. I climbed up to Stand Wood and did some exploring before making my way down to visit the Christmas Market at Chatsworth House.


























I found some new areas to walk, in particular the Emperor Lake Woodland Walk.












The Christmas Market was much larger than it was the last time I visited it, several years ago - there was also some entertainment provided which I stopped to listen to. I didn't buy anything though; the prices were shocking, just as I expected they would be.








I was blocked twice by stewards when I was trying to get to the bus stop to catch the bus back to Sheffield. They insisted I use the correct fenced off route, which wasn't signposted and was difficult to find. To finish off my day the bus was thirty minutes late. When the bus reached Sheffield I got off in The Moor area in order to go to the market - I bought some cheap, out-of-date cakes. I passed by the Christmas Market but didn't visit it, I'd had enough and was rather tired.
