We are Coalville Ramblers - a friendly group based in the heart of the National Forest. We offer a programme of 3 walks each week, from 5 miles to 10 plus.

We'll meet up in Ashby to catch the 10am number 19 bus to Netherseal. The walk back will take in the church at Stretton en le Field, Robins at Oakthorpe, and some of the many paths at Hicks Lodge. We'll have 2 stops en route - coffee stop will be at outside Robins at Oakthorpe where you can either sit out with your own refreshments, or grab something from their cafe if you wish. Lunch will be at Hicks Lodge - again there are picnic tables outside and also the chance to purchase refreshments if you wish. Toilets are also available at both stops.
There is a bit of lane walking at the start of the walk and a bit of town walking towards the end. In between it's a mix of field paths with some cycle paths around Hicks Lodge.
