A 3.5-mile guided walk around Belper, telling the story of the many different, and often highly secret, contributions the town made to the Second World War.

Led by a local guide with over 35 years experience of leading guided walks around the area, this walk includes information not found in any history book, and only recently discovered by chance.

Price: £5.00 per person, with special family and group rates available. Online pre-booking via www.derbysheritagewalks.com/belper_secret.htm is essential as places are limited.

Private bookings also available most other days - e-mail enquiries@derbysheritagewalks.com for details.

This walk is also accessible to the majority of wheelchair and mobility scooter users. Please contact us via e-mail for further details if you wish to book an accessible walk.
