anyone any tips on safe places to park and walk thanks

Isn't that a strange request bearing in mind that you live there?

Not every one's choice but I enjoy walking the canals - flat, decent paths, wildlife, interesting Industrial Revolution buildings...........it depends what interests you.

Thank you ,guess you are right strange request ,but just hard to find places without height restrictions .we too love canals and walks know lots in Derbyshire .But only just started MH and finding somewhere to go for a few hours break not had much luck thanks

You could browse various m/h parking sites even though you don't intend staying overnight. E.g. Here are just two:

United Kingdom (park4night.com)

Also Britstops........

You can park at Elsecar Heritage center.Nice walks or cycling down the pennine trail. Wentworth garden centre is ok for motorhomes. Again nice walks around Wentworth. To Wentworth woodhouse.Past the house to the dams.

Wortley Top Forge is interesting visit.
Strines pub - especially when it opens.
Castleton.
American bomber crash site at the top of Snake pass. Where the Pennine way crosses it.

We spend a lot of time around here. It's beautiful albeit a bit wet sometimes.
Easy parking at Winscar Res car park or on the road near to where it says Cooks Study on the map( near Snailsden Res which is popular with open water swimmers)
You also have the old railway line at Dunford Bridge with easy parking (Pennine trail) where you can walk on the flat for as far as you would probably want.
