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

Located on the periphery of what was once one of the largest ironstone quarries in England, our walk starts from the village of Exton. We follow what was once a route into the quarry and down to the Gothic folly of Fort Henry. From there, our route follows the northern edge of the quarry back toward the village. Before returning to the start of the walk, we will take a short detour to the impressive Grade 1 listed parish church of St Peter and St Paul .
Although there is a small amount of field walking, the majority of the walk is on surfaced paths . There are two easy stiles.
There are no facilities on this walk, although the nearby Hambleton Bakery cafe can be recommended for those wanting refreshment at the end of the walk. Please bring a packed lunch.
Exton is a small village with limited parking. Please car share if possible.
Stamford Road Exton, next to its junction with New Fields Road. Roadside parking. Please park considerately.
