At 314 metres above sea level, it is the first hill over 1000 feet accessible from the Derby area ,and from it there are fantastic panoramic views over both the Derwent and Ecclesbourne valleys and beyond. We make our way to Alderwasley, where Alderwasley Hall is situated, now a private residential special school.
