Monday 3rd November. Ticknall to Melbourne, led by Christine

Just two of us started the walk from Ticknall on a dry mild day in November. We made our way along Chapel street and through Stanton Woods and Robin Woods towards Woodend Cottage. We crossed a field to St Brides and then walked around the lake at Melbourne where we stopped for refreshments at the little cabin. We walked to Staunton Harold Reservoir and followed the path to enter Calke Estate. The final bit of the walk was through Serpentine Woods and back onto the tramway trail to Ticknall. Finishing with homemade cake and coffee (joined by an extra for the tea and cake!).

Please note future walks will be on the 4th Monday of the month starting at 9.30am
