Overview

Park at Ticknell Village Hall car park.  The route goes through former limeworks, now a nature reserve and follows the original route of the tramway to Calke Abbey where we will have lunch before returning to the start.  The path goes through tunnels so you may want to bring a torch.  It may be icy/muddy.  There is one stile.
