Put on your detective hat and join us for a one-mile parkland circuit from Belper Market Place, where history meets mystery!


This isn't just a walk - it's a treasure hunt to uncover the secrets of the manor house, once the headquarters of the royal hunting forest of Duffield Frith.


On this walk, you'll:


  • Follow the clues - Piece together the story of the manor house and discover what really happened to this historic building.
  • Explore hidden corners - Visit associated buildings, the site of a once-grand garden, and water features tucked into ancient woodland.
  • Enjoy the scenery - Stroll through beautiful parkland while soaking up centuries of local history.
  • Step back in time - Imagine life in a royal hunting forest and see the setting where important decisions and activities once took place.
  • Part of Belper 250 - This walk is one of many exciting events celebrating 250 years of Belper, full of history, adventure, and discovery.

Perfect for curious explorers, history buffs, and anyone who loves a good mystery.


Bring your sense of curiosity - and maybe a magnifying glass!
