We are the Newark Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
From the Bestwood Lodge Drive car park we head for Goosedale via Killarney Park, then on a disused railway track to Mill Lakes. Our return to the car park takes us past the headstock and winding house.
The route explores the many habitats within the park including heath, woodland, grassland, wetland, and gardens and also takes in the park's iconic landmark, the surviving headstock and winding house which has been retained to commemorate the time when the site was home to Bestwood Colliery.
There will be the usual stops for refreshment and lunch.
Please register for this walk on Newark Ramblers website where you will also find details of our car share scheme.
From the A60 take Oxclose Lane at the side of Lidl Supermarket & Kia garage on the opposite corner. At the next set of traffic lights turn right onto Queens Bower Road and take the next set of lights onto Bestwood Lodge Drive. Follow the road until you reach a mini roundabout, bear right and the car park is signposted & on the right
