Overview

We will be walking mainly around the country park, mostly on firm paths. The route will include two locks, a large lake, a 'dog pool' and part of the Grantham Canal. As  this is a short walk, there will be just one stop, where there will be places to sit. 

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