On 3rd November, we enjoyed a lovely 7.16-mile walk starting from the Starting Gate pub at Colwick. We set off along Colwick Road, passing through Trickett’s Park before joining the canal towpath, which provided a pleasant and peaceful stretch of the walk. Passing through the remains of our industrial past.
We continued along the canal towards Trent Bridge and the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest Football Club. From there, we crossed the new pedestrian bridge over the River Trent to Trent Basin, enjoying the views of the river and the surrounding area.
Our route then followed the River Trent into Colwick Park, where we walked around West Lake. We continued along Wardens Walk, taking in the beautiful lakeside scenery and the peaceful surroundings of the park. The Autumn colours making the scenery magnificent to walk through.
The final section brought us back to the Starting Gate pub at Colwick, completing our 7.16-mile circular walk. We then went to the Starting Gate for a well eared pint.
