Overview

The walk will start from the car park on Parfitt Drive in Farnsfield.  We will head towards the playing fields before turning right through the wood and over the fields where we will stop for a break before joining Greaves Lane.  Soon after joining Greaves Lane we will turn right at Wood Farm and follow the path into Coombs Wood.  We will take the path on the right out of Coombs Wood to join Coombs Lane where we will stop for a break at the Halifax War Memorial.  We will then continue along Coombs Lane until we reach Farnsfield where people are welcome to stop for refreshments at one of the many cafes available or The Plough Inn.  There are some beautiful views over the fields and the War Memorial is worth a visit.  The walk is 5 miles long.
