Overview

A circular walk starting from Staunton Harold Hall. Using the permissive path past Springwood Farm we approach Melbourne by way of the Pool, with a break for a drink at the Market Place.  
We then continue alongside the Reservoir and enter Calke Park. A break for lunch here, then we pick up the tramway and return to Staunton.
