Big open space, not much tree cover if its hot. Not too near the road so dogs can run off lead.
Beautiful country park and very well kept. A large, tarmacced car park and accessible walking trail make this a good place to visit if you use mobility aids or prefer a smoother gravel path underfoot. Lovely views of Chesterfield's crooked spire, beautiful wetlands and many species of birds to spot 🐦
For what has been developed at the avenue washlands is awesome. The wildlife is amazing. Just a stunning place. Had a beautiful walk with the pooch & fella around the ponds. Adequate parking in car park. If I had to pick fault it's the disgusting folk who leave litter and dog poop that ruin it for others. Defiantly will be going again 👍
I went for a lovely walk with my daughter and grandchildren. The pathways were clear of obstructions and well defined. There's 2 football pitches marked out, waterways and pond where the waterfowls of the area can gather, great photo opportunities available and even a large Caterpillar for kids to play on. We went on a winter day so wrapped up warm and only went in one direction so we plan on going again to explore some more. Thoroughly recommend as it's back to nature and enjoyed for free is always a bonus .
A good dog friendly walk a few miles south of Chesterfield Town centre to be enjoyed by all. Dogs love to paddle in the stream and run together along the paths and open fields this park has to offer.
