Nelson's Monument on Birchen Edge was constructed in 1810 by some residents of Baslow. Wellington's Monument across the valley on Baslow Edge was erected by local doctor Edward Wrench in 1866. A lovely walk from Baslow strings them together. I parked at the Nether End pay and display and walked along the lane to the kisssing gate that leads into the estate. Walked east through estate passing not far from Jubilee Rock whose inscription marking Victoria's 1897 Diamond Jubilee was also instigated by the patriotic Dr Wrench. Getting out if the estate at the NE end entails negotiating two imposing step stiles after which a lovely woodland path leads to a bridge over the river near the Robin Hood pub. A bit beyon this a path leads up onto Birchen Edge past Nelson's Monument to a trig point on the top. Here I went steeply down to join a path going north to the road junction, then west to Wellington's monument and back down the hill into Ba
​slow.
