Overview

A pleasant winter walk starting from the riverside car park opposite the Unicorn in Gunthorpe, which heads west along the north bank of the River Trent toward Burton Joyce and on to Stoke Lock. Our return route is a direct path back to the starting point, following the riverside path.

The car park at Gunthorpe is free, but it can get busy on Sundays.
