Overview

This is a winter walk along a few roads, various paths and an old railway line in urban West Bridgford. From Leahurst Road, we take a path south to Edwalton and cross the golf course. From near to an intact bridge, we follow the line of the old Nottingham to Melton railway line at the side of the golf course to Melton Road. Just up the road we join a path which follows the path of the old railway. The final part of our walk follows a number of roads and paths, back to Leahurst Road.
