Overview

Starting from Swingate Water Tower we cross the A610, passing the Chapel on the Hill, down to Kimberley. At the now disused Kimberley East Railway Station we pick up the Great Northern Railway Path to Nuthall. We take a lunch stop in Broxtowe Country Park, site of the former Broxtowe Colliery, before crossing the Motorway back to Swingate.
