We are the West Midlands Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting from one of the prettiest villages in the area, we go through the grounds of Calke Abbey before looping round up to Melbourne Hall and past The Pool, a picturesque lake. Then we go past Staunton Harold reservoir (toilets/cafe available at the visitor centre) before returning through Ticknall limeyards, which are now a nature reserve, and an optional trip through the 126m long Ticknall tramway tunnel (torch recommended - there is a surface route that avoids the tunnel for those who don't like dark spaces).
