The line of Gardom's Edge is prominent on the other side of Bar Brook, with Birchen Edge above that.

Path below Blackstone Edge

Having battled through head-high ferns, this part of the path is a very pleasant descent through woodland.

Lady Wall Well

Lady Wall Well is on a corner of Bar Road, an old packhorse way to the top of Baslow Edge. "bar" is an old word for a steeply-climbing horse road. From the top of Baslow Edge, the old road continues on towards Chesterfield, for a way, before disappearing under modern tarmac.

Derwent Aqueduct access gates and discharge well

The Derwent Aqueduct was laid to bring water from the Derwent to Derby, Nottingham and Leicester. Its line is marked by these distinctive access gates and, in this case, a discharge well. The building, in the background and in a neighbouring grid square, is a valve house.
