Overview

A lovely 10 mile circular walk from Welbeck Estate to Cresswell Crags (a limestone gorge on the border between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire - home to number of fascinating cave dwellings once occupied by nomadic peoples during the Ice-age). Easy walking with a variety of scenery on mostly public footpaths, but some (allowed) estate paths.
