We are the Rushcliffe Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Our walk starts along the old Grantham Canal, which we follow to Gamston. After crossing over to the opposite bank of the canal, we follow a leafy path which follows the route of the canal. There is a short road section, before we enter The Hook Nature Reserve.
Our return is along the River Trent then another section of the canal.
This is a Flat 5 walk (about 5 miles and mainly level). There are no stiles or gates. The paths are well-made.
There is no need to book in advance for this walk, just turn up on the day. There will be a drink stop during the walk, so please bring snacks or drinks.
After the walk, there is an optional meal at the Poppy & Pint pub. If you wish to join us for this meal, please let the leader know by email before February 4th. If you are dining, please arrive in plenty of time to order your meal before the walk starts.
There is limited car parking at the Poppy and Pint and parking on nearby roads is sometimes tricky. Please car share wherever possible or use public transport.
Public transport options: Stagecoach number 90 from Newark and Nottingham stops on Radcliffe Road; NCT number 11 from Nottingham and Lady Bay stops on Trent Boulevard; Central Avenue, West Bridgford is a short walk away with various bus options. Please check bus times before travelling.
