Overview

Starting from the NT car park in Foremark Reservoir our walk takes us alongside the water to Carvers Rocks and part of the National Forest Way. We then leave the southern end of the reservoir to walk along quiet lanes, woodland and fields. After a couple of short stretches along the busy B5008 (Repton Rd) we return to Foremark via the main entrance.

Parts of this walk are quite undulating, but there are no long steep climbs. Total ascent is about 700ft. For comparison, a lot of our Wednesday walks are around the 400/450 ft mark, ranging to over 1000ft on a few occasions.

We will take a couple of stops during the walk, so please bring your own refreshments.

There is a small kiosk near the car park providing drinks, light snacks & ice creams for after the walk.

Please let the leader know if you would like to join this walk.
