Kedleston - long walk
This walk gives fantastic views of the gardens and the back of the Hall, and gives a good perspective of the size of Kedleston Park.

Follow the finger post signs in the car park through the small metal gate and into the gardens. Turn right and follow the path past the Pleasure Grounds.
