Overview

After a gentle start along the Eastern side of Foremark reservoir, we make our way across farmland to the village of Ticknall.

We will then continue across farmland to reach the R Trent. After visiting Anchor Church, natural caves extended for human habitation and thought to have been the cell of St Hardulph, an Anchorite hermit.

Our route continues beside the R Trent before heading south across farmland and back to the reservoir.
