We are delighted to invite you to join us for this year’s summer social, the (rather delayed) Florence Nightingale Heritage Walk which also includes a visit to Lea Hurst, her family’s Derbyshire home.
Date: Sunday 26th June 2022
Time: 11am
Meeting place: High Peak Junction car park, Lea Road, Lea Bridge
Outline:
- Walk along Cromford Canal and through Lea Wood up to Lea Hurst
- Meet Peter Kay, owner of Lea Hurst
- Tour of gardens, access to key rooms in house and see Nightingale related features
- Proceed along route of the Heritage route, passing various points of interest
- Lunch stop at Jug & Glass pub (members may join us here if not wanting/able to participate in the walk)

The walk will be approx. 4 miles with some inclines, but we will take it at a steady pace, not a route march!
