Overview

This lovely linear walk starts by the Council House in Nottingham City Centre and finishes with a bus journey from Bramcote back to Nottingham. On the way we follow the Nottingham and Beeston Canal, the River Leen and Lime Tree Avenue to Wollaton Park. After a lunch stop we cross Wollaton Vale and find our way into Sandy Lane Nature Reserve, Alexandrina Plantation and a former golf course before reaching Bramcote Hills Park. The i4 bus then takes us back to the City Centre.
