We are the Doncaster Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Shake off the Christmas and New Year torpor in Clumber Park. The walk will be in two halves. Approximately 6 miles in the first half. Then a refreshment break at The Courtyard area where there are toilets and a café. Those not wishing to do the second half can end here. The second half will be a further 5 miles or so before ending back at the parking area. Both halves are on good paths and small roads on both sides of Clumber lake. Flat all the way. Coffee will be al fresco. Lunch break will be at The Courtyard area
Walkers are reminded it is their responsibility to wear appropriate footwear/clothing, bring adequate food and drink and carry emergency contact details. Go to the Walks/Information for Walkers tab for more details.
Meet at a free parking area in the centre of Clumber Park. Enter the park at the Apleyhead Lodge entrance off the A614. Go through the arch and then carry on straight down Lime Tree Avenue for a mile or so ignoring all turns left and right. When you reach the cross roads where you normally turn left to pass the National Trust paypoint DO NOT DO SO. Instead carry on over the crossroads for another 200 yards. You will then see two open spaces either side of the road where you can park for free. This is where the walk starts. Alternatively you can park in the NT car park if you are a member or don’t mind paying. Those only doing the first half may like to consider this so they do not have to walk back to their car after the lunch break.
