This is a leisurely 9 mile walk starting at Spalford Warren Nature Reserve, following a meandering route by road, footpath and country lane, to North Clifton, location of the beautiful Japanese Garden created by the Buddha Maitreya. From here we follow the riverside path with views of High Marnham Power Station cooling towers on the opposite bank. We follow the river to South Clifton and then complete the circle along field paths and rural lanes.
Please note that we will walk through some areas, including a couple of stiles/gates, that are overgrown with nettles and brambles, therefore shorts are not recommended!
Please contact the Leader to let them know that you are coming on the walk. Please leave your name, contact telephone number and email address. Please also state whether you intend going to the designated meeting place or directly to the start of the walk. This will help ensure that you are not left behind. This should not be regarded as "booking a place".
If you later find that you cannot come on the walk, please notify the Leader as soon as possible in order that the group is not waiting for you to arrive on the day.
There will be refreshment stops and a lunch-time break, so bring some food and drink.
Looking forward to your company on this delightful walk in a pleasant area.
