We are the Broxtowe Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a circular walk through farm and woodland along the Robin Hood Way, and then following the Linby trail along mainly surfaced tracks through Newstead Abbey. Along the route we will visit the Byron family tombs at Newstead Abbey and Papplewick Church which is associated with the Robin Hood legend.
Packed lunch recommended. There are two cafe stops en route, with public toilet facilities.
