Overview

...for the day. No guarantee of mammoths.

This is a circular walk from Clowne via Oxcroft, Elmton (elevenses), Creswell Model Village, Creswell Crags (lunch) and Whitwell.
The walk is mainly on even surfaces across fields, countryside tracks and lanes. There is a section of rougher woodland path after lunch and a short pavement walk through Clowne village at the end.

There are a few inclines after lunch, but the majority of the walk is gently undulating. There are only a few stiles, not at all complex in design, and all in good condition on recce.

No dogs please, as there may be livestock in fields.
