The Farnsfield Loop

We will start in the lovely village and Civil Parish of Farnsfield in Nottinghamshire, from Parfitt Drive where there is a free car park available.  We will then head towards the Southwell Trail, a former railway line dating to 1842 and now adapted as a multi-use route for foot, cycle and horseback use.  The trail is 7.5 miles long and passes Farnsfield Pumping Station, which was officially open in 1898 and is still in use today.  The trail provides a welcome respite from the sun as it is covered by trees on both sides.  We will continue along the trail until we reach the crossroads and take the path on the left hand side back over the fields into Farnsfield.  There are a variety of places to eat in Farnsfield including The Plough Inn, The Rustic Crust and Le Petit Vert.
