We are the Retford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We begin the day with a walk along Ladybower with lovely views of the reservoir and surrounding hills, and then gradually ascend the hillside through the woods to reach Wooler Knoll. Here we will have our coffee break and enjoy the extensive views of Edale valley. A walk across the hillside to the rugged summit of Win Hill rewards us with more spectacular views of the northern Derwent valley and moors. As this can be a windy spot we will descend a little for a lunch break. A descent through the woods then leaves us with a short walk back to the dam and car park.
The paths are mostly good tracks but there will be muddy sections in the woods. Walking boots are recommended and poles will be useful.
There are toilets at the car park.
In case of bad weather please contact the walk leader on the morning of the walk.
From Chapelgate turn left just before the Sun Inn into the car park.
Through Bamford on A6013, pass Ladybower dam and turn right into Heatherdene car park.
