Overview

From Shireoaks Marina, the walk follows the Chesterfield Canal (Cuckoo Way) towards Kiveton Park. At Devils Hole Bridge we cross the canal into Hawks Wood following woodland tracks into Old Spring Wood. From here we make our way back along the canal and past St Lukes Church back to the start point.
