The Hurst Farm Heritage Trail in Matlock will feature woodland, pathways, wildflowers and 800 new trees
A heritage trail will be built around a Derbyshire housing estate after the local council received a million-pound grant.
The council said this would be delivered through prudent thinning of non-native and diseased trees and the re-planting of new native trees. The work will include opening up the view from the Wishing Stone - a Matlock landmark, while a Lumsdale Valley viewpoint will be created nearby.Leader of Derbyshire Dales District Council, councillor Garry Purdy said: "We will be creating a resource for all of Matlock, connecting the communities of Hurst Farm, Asker Lane, Lumsdale and Tansley.
A ranger and two apprentices will be recruited to run activities with volunteers, including drystone walling, woodland management and wildlife habitat restoration.
