Overview

This is a linear walk passing through quiet countryside with great views over the Trent Valley and surrounding area. We will take the 10.14 bus from Southwell Leisure Centre just a few stops to Thurgarton. We will walk to the Priory Church of St Peter where Walter Hilton was an Augustinian monk and an influential guide to spiritual life throughout the middle ages, publishing important works. We will follow in his footsteps to Southwell Minster where water and oils were distributed to local churches. The walk is leisurely through gently undulating countryside. There are likely to be some muddy stretches. Coffee and picnic stops. This is a British Pilgrimage Trust walk.

Please register for this walk on Newark Ramblers website where you will also find details of our car share scheme.
