Overview

From Wheatley Village Hall Car Park we follow tracks and fields towards West Burton, then on to Bole, where we stop for coffee at St Martin's Church.  From here we cross the railway line  and head towards the River Trent, and stop for lunch on the Trent bank near the Pumping Station.

Then we walk alongside Catchwater Drain to Sturton. We return to Wheatley across fields to Muspits Lane and back to the Car Park.
