Overview

Starting at Bestwood Lodge itself we walk through the Big Wood to Bestwood Village. A short roadside walk along part of the Robin Hood Way brings us to a track passing by Goosedale, Hilltop, Sunnyside and Twelve Acre Farms and we pass through Killarney Park on the way back to the Lodge.

Please contact the Leader to let them know that you are coming on the walk. Please leave your name, contact telephone number and email address. Please also state whether you intend going to the designated meeting place or directly to the start of the walk. This will help ensure that you are not left behind. This should not be regarded as "booking a place".

If you later find that you cannot come on the walk, please notify the Leader as soon as possible in order that the group is not waiting for you to arrive on the day.

There will be refreshment stops so bring some snacks and a drink.

Looking forward to your company on this delightful walk in a pleasant area.
