Overview

Our walk starts by the Visitors Centre at Attenborough Nature Reserve. From there we walk parallel to the Nottingham to Derby railway line south west then switch south to join the path along the River Trent. We follow the River for a while, then take a path back to near the railway. The final section takes us through Attenborough Village and back to the Visitors Centre.
