We are the Rushcliffe Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This pleasant walk follows the Robin Hood Way north west along the river Greet, and comes south through Norwood Park and down through fields and quiet minor roads through the grounds of Brackenhurst College, back to Southwell. It is generally flat, and could be muddy along the banks of the Greet, but will probably be drier in May. There are 2 stiles. We pass a former flour mill and a former cotton mill, now flats. Car parking is free on a Sunday at the car park opposite the cathedral on Church Street. Toilets are available at the park where we start the walk. Please bring a packed lunch.
This is a moderate walk. If you are coming by bus from Nottingham, take the Number 26 at 9.05 a.m. from King Street, bay K1. The journey is about 40 minutes. Alight on Church Street where the car park and start are found. To return to Nottingham after the walk, the number 26 goes from Hillside Avenue, half a mile from Church Street, at five minutes past the hour and is hourly.
If you wish to join this walk please contact the Leader using the email link. Tha maximum number of walkers is 20.
Southwell is famous for producing the Bramley Apple, a cooking apple. It has a beautiful cathedral which is worth a visit. There are pubs in Southwell if people want a drink or a coffee after the walk.
Come into Southwell and turn sharp Right at the Saracen's Head Inn, into Church Street. The car park is downhill on the left and is signed.
