You saw the TV serial, probably read the book, now walk where Darcy only dared to swim! The walk is essentially a contrast between the open moorland and the well kept park which it surrounds. There is a very pretty descent through a wooded valley at the start of the walk, followed by one long but very gradual climb which gives wonderful views across the moors and over the park. Navigation is fairly straightforward as there is a wall somewhere near at hand most of the time, while the signposting is adequate. The descent into the park is a little shorter and steeper than the climb to the highest point.
