Overview

A delightful walk in an area designated the Hidden Valleys. We start from Thieves Wood and walk through woodland on the Newstead Abbey estate to Papplewick, where we will stop for coffee at the Church. The walk will then take us to the pretty village of Linby. We continue to Newstead Abbey where we will have a break for lunch (seats and toilets available) before returning through woodland to our starting point. Good paths with some ups and downs. The return is uphill through the woods. There are no stiles.

BOOKABLE - If you would like to join this walk please email the walk leader using the link.
