Overview

From the library, we walk through Bridgford Park then along the remaining part of the embankment of the former Nottingham to Melton railway. We then follow a number of quiet roads and paths to reach Melton Road. Here we join the former railway track known as the Green Line. This wooded path cuts through the built up area.
The path leads to the village of Edwalton. After a short stretch of road walking, we join a path that borders Gamston and leads to the former Grantham Canal.
After a pleasant walk along the canal towpath, we return to Bridgford Park and the West Bridgford Library.
