Hi Patrick. This will make you laugh. My wife and I decided to do this particular walk today as we thought it looked a lovely. We temporarily lost our bearing’s regarding the route but a passer by put is back on the right track. Later in the walk we actually used your video on my phone to check we where on the right track. We found our selves watching and walking the route along with you and even humming the music as we went! Keep up the great work Patrick.

[@solitaryrambler]

Hey nice one Bryn, pleased the music kept you going as you walked! 😀 Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the walk too 👍

[@frankfitzgerald5832]

Lovely way to spend a saturday evening sharing the peak district with you ..Thank you so much for these wonderful films Patrick...Rowsley looks a super little place loving the mill with the dam ..mind you o do always enjoy walking by water...The donkeys were lovely to they always looks so sad i feel sorry them as there lovely creatures...anyway thanks again Patrick....look forward to your next video ...regards Frank & Lee.........

[@solitaryrambler]

Always like a waterside walk wherever possible. I thoguht those donkeys were lovely but they did look sad. As always Frank and Lee thank you for the lovely comments and for taking the time to watch 👍

[@stephenwarren6392]

Fantastic place. Being from a city I didn't really appreciate the Peak District while I was working in Matlock. Since lockdown started I've been living in Corse Lawn, Worcestershire and I must say, I now love living in the countryside. Peace and quiet 👌Loving your films which are very informative 👍

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you young Steve! Can't beat the peace and quiet of the countryside! Thanks for watching 👍

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

It's been a long, long time since I ever went through Rowsley, Patrick (not on the road, but by rail!). The village itself has beautiful buildings, and the scenery where you did your walk is extremely inviting. There's very nice views all around that district, and your day was grand with that sunshine. I think that If an area has beauty in winter, when all the leaves have fallen, then it's most certainly going to be a treat in summer, with the trees in bloom. Nice one Patrick, and many thanks.

[@solitaryrambler]

This is just up the road from me again, so a nice local one to film. I love all the seasons as the same place never looks the same each time. Thanks Ffranc for watching and commenting 👍

[@DaveFord]

A peaceful, relaxing & enjoyable video Patrick. April was a great month for sunshine.... May was a little on the "damp" side though! Thanks for posting.

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it Dave, many thanks for watching 👍

[@maryjarvis491]

Thank you patrick lovely video .Rowley is such a pretty place .my Grandparents are buried at Rowsley church ..my mum worked many years ago at the Peacock Hotel .its where my mum and dad met one another .lovely to see.😍

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks again Mary for all the kind words. Nice to know some personal insight into these places I've included in my films. All the best 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Good to see you out in the fresh air Patrick the best place for you and us all. And fancy meeting your friend. It was nice to hear of the Wye, which I've known of for some while. It certainly heralded another splendid walk. The donkeys wanted to walk with you hence their misery. Naah, they were beautiful as was the Chatsworth estate. It's big! Well, thanks Patrick. Have a great week. Mark

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Mark, yes it was nice bumping into Paul and his wife on this walk as I hadn't enjoyed not seeing people during the lockdowns. Fresh air defo the best place, I know you'll appreciate that Mark. Guessed you'd probably know about this River Wye in Derbyshire, not *our* Wye of course - this only runs about 20 miles I think - but it still passes through some lovely places. I wanted to take those donkeys home with me as they were looking really sad! 😊 Anyway thanks Mark, always good to hear from you. Have a great week too. Cheers, Patrick 👍

[@kellyshaw7271]

I was thrilled to see another post so soon. It really reminds me of last of the summer wine. It's so lovely and laid back. I live by the fosse way in Lincoln so i see lots of walkers, especially as their is a nice country pub not far along that has ales. I see you are picking up subscribers and hopefully many more. Thanks for your time and effort and happy belated birthday wishes Patrick. Cheers.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Kelly, yes I'm pleased to see more subscribers so I hope they keep coming 🙂 Thanks for the belated birthday wishes too 👍

[@CountrysideWalking]

Hi Patrick. I am not familiar with Rowsley or this part of the Peak District so was nice to see somewhere different. Although I have visited Chatsworth House. Lovely melody for your music nice easy relaxing to match the pleasant walk. Really enjoyed watching. Best wishes Shanita

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Shanita, yes this was close to Chatsworth House, but I'll feature that in a future film. Glad you liked the music, that is another version of my Peak District melody. Many thanks as always for your supprot and for taking the time to watch. Have a good weekend 👍

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Rowsley is on the right angle point twixt Chats and Haddon Hall, check the bridge remnant if you go, literally in the back garden of the Grouse & Claret.

Thanks again Pete 👍

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Another fab walk and video Patrick. I think I’m following you around the Peak District as I walked part of this exact same area last Saturday. It’s the closest part of the Peak District to me so I spend a lot of time around these parts. Great to see you back enjoying the Peak District air, sights and sounds. I can’t get enough of the place and wish I could afford to retire too and spend more time there. By the way, thanks for watching my recent video. I did see your kind comments but for some reason it wouldn’t let me reply to it! KZbin gremlins I think 🙂

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Anthony, I certainly have been enjoying the great outdoors since restrictions have slowly been lifting. I'm susprised we've not bumped into each other in that case, sure that'll happen before long 🙂 No worries about your video, I've had those KZbin gremlins myself where I received notifications of comments, but when I go to my channel, they've vanished. All the best 👍

[@cathoutdoors523]

Hi Patrick. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing more of your videos 👍📹😊

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you Cath, much appreciated 👍

[@cathoutdoors523]

@@solitaryrambler Your very welcome Patrick. 👍😊

[@AbbyandGaz]

Great video! This place looked beautiful, will definitely be going on our list! Have a nice week ☺️

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks Abby and Gaz! All the best 👍

[@paulnicholson1906]

I’m originally from Chapel but have lived in the USA forever. We have lots of wild areas here, even in NJ where I am now but the difference is that everything is covered with trees here so when you go walking all you see are trees with a rare overlook. Admittedly it can be spectacular, especially the Delaware Water Gap, however in the Peak District you get to see the views so much better as a lot of the hillside is open due to sheep and cattle farming. Needless to say I really like going walking in Derbyshire when I visit it is great.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@kathrynbrock1558]

I visit the Mill and parts of this walk regularly and I walked the Carlton Lees bit only last year. Wish I could include a photo here as I think I was on the same path.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks for giving films these a watch 👍
