Step 4: A note of caution. Occasionally there are cattle in this field. If concerned then you can enter and leave Calke via the main entrance
Step 5: Follow the path through the field to this gate. Go through the gate and immediately turn left. There will be a pond on your right.
Step 6: If you have walked in via Calke Entrance then look for a stile on left and pick up walk at step 8
