If coming from Doncaster the easiest route would commence on the A1 south and then leave the road at Tuxford thereafter making for Egmanton and our  start. In Laxton meet at the Dovecote Inn adjacent to the visitor centre and park at the top of the car park. There are toilets at the start and it is expected that the pub will be open at the end of the walk.
