Overview

Join us on this circular walk through Bestwood Country Park  down to Mill Lakes and back. Starting from the main car park we walk past the former hunting lodge ( now  hotel), mostly on cinder paths through woodland which then opens up to give some excellent views of north Notts. We descend to Mill Lakes for a coffee break before a gradual but steep climb back into the country park and lunch in the hotel gardens.

Please register for this walk on Newark Ramblers website, where you will also find details of our car share scheme.
