We are the Loughborough & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Join us for a 10 miles circular walk through a region where DH Lawrence grew up and which he described as "Country of my Heart". Starting from Colliers Wood LNR we will walk east to the lost medieval village of Greasley, then north past the former Beauvale Priory (coffee stop) to the ruins of Annesley Hall and Church (lunch stop). From there we follow the medieval Weaver's Lane south to the remains of Felley Mill and along Moorgreen Reservoir back to Colliers Wood LNR.
Three miles into the walk we will stop at the Gatehouse Tearooms at Beauvale Priory which offers the only amenieties available during the walk. The majority of paths are surfaced and in reasonable conditions, but we also have to walk along a few arable fields which can be muddy after rain. We won't encounter any livestock. The walk has very gradual inclines, only Annesley Church sits on a tiny hill.
Free spacious car park of the Colliers Wood LNR, best reached via Engine Lane off the B600. Coming from Jct26 of the M1 just follow the A600 through Watnall and Moorgreen. The car park doesn't have any facilities.
