Overview

The best woods for hunting were given to Nell Gwynn by Charles II and it’s where we’ll be for our New Year’s Day walk. We’ll start at the free car park near to Bestwood Lodge Hotel and head through the Woods to Mill Lakes returning through woodland. Mostly good tracks and pavements with hills and a little mud, no stiles. We’ll have one coffee/snack/lunch stop. Bookable.

Join members of the group in Bestwood Lodge Hotel for a drink after the walk.

If you wish to join this walk please contact the Leader using the email link.
