Overview

A circular walk, that after leaving the Welbeck Estate takes in Cresswell Crags, home to the northernmost known cave art in Europe and peregrine falcons.
We then head through Holbeck, before following a quiet country lane to the outskirts of Norton. We return to the Welbeck estate down a tree-lined path on the edge of the deer park. On our return there is the possibility to visit the cafe, farm shop and garden centre.

Please park and meet in the graveled area at the far end of the carpark. There are toilets enroute at the Cresswell Crags visitor centre. Please do not use the garden centre toilets before the walk unless you have at least half an hour to spare as they are located at the furthest point. The walk is dog friendly but they must be kept on a lead at all times. Parts of the route are slippy with mud so walking poles are recommended.
