Overview

If you’ve not walked with us before, please contact the walk leader for further information.

Car parking at pub. Toilets open at the start of the walk and food available at the end. It maybe a little less than 6 miles. Nice walk across fields to West Leake Village, a steady climb up Fox Hill to the ridge on West Leake Hills- good views across Nottinghamshire. Then walking by Rushcliffe golf course back across fields and tracks to the pub. Mostly fairly good tracks with a bit of field work. 2 stiles- one disinterested pony. Lovely snowdrops in Church grounds. Coffee/tea stop at halfway point- with a very interesting story about Cuckoos!!! Hope you can come along.
