Cockayne Car Park (Ashbourne) - Stuston Mill - Bradley Moor - Yeldersley - Osmaston - Wyaston - Edlaston - Collycroft - Clifton - Cockayne Car Park (Ashbourne)

This walk was published by a local rambler who likes the longer challenging walk. He lives in a village close to where I live and the theme of the walk is connected to the famous Royal Ashbourne Shrovetide event. As you can probably can guess there is also an Up’ards walk too but I will hopefully be completing that one later in the year as it is much longer (19 miles). The Down’ards walk is almost 12 miles and is mainly to the south of the River Henmore and Ashbourne. It does however visit both Shrovetide Goals. A very enjoyable walk although quite muddy in places underfoot. The sun shone for most of the time too!!
