Poolsbrook Country Park

2 miles (3.5 km)

This 180 acre park consists of 85 acres of woodland, 42 acres of grassland and 23 acres of green water. There are several miles of well maintained paths suitable for cyclists or walkers. The park is located in Staveley, very near to Chesterfield and the village of Duckmanton.
To extend your walk you can head north from the park and link up with the Chesterfield Canal. You could then follow a nice section of the canal into Chesterfield.
