Overview

Join Sue for A hop over the border into DH Lawrence country in the 140th anniversary of his birth. The route takes us through part of the landscape that inspired him, up via High Park Wood alongside Moorgreen Reservoir, to more woodland paths and tracks, a short stretch by road then dropping down to Greasley village on successive field paths and returning to Colliers Wood the back way.
