Overview

Leave the stress of driving behind, and enjoy the excitement of public transport on this ACCESSIBLE BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT walk. It may be scary, but it can be done, by train from Newark or Nottingham and by bus from Southwell or Nottingham!

It will be an undulating stroll from Lowdham, exploring the hills and views around this attractive area, including a visit to the picturesque village of Epperstone. 

There are some steep ascents, but none are too long, and we will be rewarded with excellent views.

We'll throw in an ancient sheepwash dip for free, but will hopefully refrain from throwing any walkers in!

 

Please register for this walk on Newark Ramblers website.
