A delightful little walk starting at Whatstandwell canal car park. Follow the canal in a NW direction for a short while then cross over on the first bridge heading for Wakebridge then Dethick. From there follow the road and take a footpath that skirts Coumbs Wood past Castleton farm , Bow Wood and then back to the canal which is followed back to start. Mostly follows Amber Valley walk 22. Especially nice in Spring when the daffodills are out!
