Staveley Riverside Walk ^Featured

This project is part of the National Park’s Miles Without Stiles Scheme to improve access for people with limited mobility by upgrading rights of way. This includes people in wheelchairs, parents with pushchairs and visually impaired people.
The project will improve the surface and ‘furniture’ of a public footpath to create a route suitable for all. The project is being developed with support and active involvement from the local community and local people have been invited to comment on the scheme.

Staveley and Ings Parish Council initially suggested a route which runs from the Duke William pub along the path to the footbridge over the River Kent and then turns left along the riverside to the road. A new wheelchair accessible bridge will replace the existing one, which is no longer fit for purpose. The walk will also include a link to Staveley Mill Yard via a disabled access ramp.
