We are Coalville Ramblers - a friendly group based in the heart of the National Forest. We offer a programme of 3 walks each week, from 5 miles to 10 plus.
Valda H.
Join Valda on this walk around the historic Staunton Harold and Calke estates. Both sites are steeped in history and offer endless walks and pathways so that even if visited before new ways around can be found. Starting from the Garden Centre Car Park you will make your way around the estate before heading to Calke where refreshments can be taken and then returning to Staunton Harold where cafe's and drinks are available.
Toilets are available at both Staunton Harold and Calke
The walk is well behaved dog friendly
Staunton Harold Hall, a Georgian mansion, and the chapel of the Holy Trinity complete with the serene lake and manicured lawns make this a spectacular place to view. A visit to the Ferrers Centre for Arts and Crafts with cafes is well worth a visit after the walk.
Calke Abbey has been in existence since the 12th century and has had a chequered history ever since the Dissolution of the monasteries by Henry the Eighth. It has survived and offers miles of woodland and countryside walking.
