Firstly I do apologise for the fact that the planned January walk had to be cancelled at short notice. However the same route is back on for February 17th, 2022.

Meet at Titchfield Park car park near the junction with Caddaw Avenue at 9.45 am for a 10.00 am start.

Titchfield Park, Park Drive Hucknall NG15 7LU

The walk is approximately 4 miles and visits Bulwell Hall before proceeding to Bestwood Lakes Country Park and returns through Butlers Hill. We will take a short break at the Forge Mill (fairly new) tea rooms for a drink stop. Bring your own or buy one at the cafe.

If the car park is busy there is ample parking nearby on Park Drive.

Twenty one members took part in the October walk from the car park of the fairly new Annesley and Newstead Country Park. Thanks to Phil Attenborough for arranging the route and leading the walk.

Our next walk will be on Thursday, 18th November 2021. We will start the walk from the Nabb Inn on Nabbs Lane. This will be led by Roy Brown and will cover some familiar ground over Beacon Hill and the Misk Hills. There are some uphill sections but generally it is not too demanding.

It is a fairly flat walk on good tracks and paths.

There will be a coffee break at Newstead Abbey and a stroll back to complete the walk of about 4.5 miles.

Some information about the park:-

‘We are a park with a difference. The park is run by Newstead Enterprise – a company created by the community in Newstead Village to help create a better future for ourselves. We are run by volunteers who care passionately about the village, the Park and creating a legacy for future generations.

The Park is 220 acres and is situated on the site of the former colliery pit tips. The whole area has amazing wildlife interest and the village is working with a number of environmental groups to protect and enhance the area, half of which is a ‘Site of Importance for Nature Conservation’.
