We are the Staffordshire Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular walk around Calke Park and Staunton Harold Reservoir. We will start the day by heading in the direction of Melbourne where we will have a tea break before heading for Staunton Harold Hall for our lunch stop. There is also a garden centre, craft centre and toilets here. The final section crosses the National Trust’s Calke Park with a chance to see some deer before returning to the pretty village of Ticknall via Betty’ s Pond. Also the option of a café stop at Calke Abbey. Generally flat. Route includes lanes, footpatha and across fields.
Lunch required. No dogs please.
Meeting point Ticknall village hall car park, Ingleby Lane, Ticknall, DE73 7JX. This is a free car park although the village hall committee do have a donation box on the wall by the toilets should you wish to contribute to the maintenance of the facilities. The car park gets busy the weekends so car sharing is advised. Alternately car parking is available on the roads but please be mindful of local residents.
