Sunday 15th September, 2024: Hartington (8 miles). Walk leader Sally
Here are the details of our September walk. Meet in middle of Hartington village outside Charles Cotton Pub in Lea Market Place. The post code is: SK17 0AL and the What3words link is: https://w3w.co/badly.hiking.manifests On street parking can be found in and around the market place. There is a car park a few minutes on from this - Parsons Field Car Park: SK17 0BE or what3words: https://w3w.co/reduction.suggested.village but cost is £6.20 for the day. There are public toilets opposite the car park if needed, but please visit these prior to meeting for a prompt 10.30am start. The walk is a lovely 8 mile walk. We start with a short climb out of Hartington then walk with fine views across the fields to see Sheen Hill in the distance. The route takes you via the old site of Pilsbury Castle, here you can see the earthworks of the motte and bailey castle, built partly on a limestone knoll. We continue walking towards the outskirts of Crowdecote. There is a short but steep climb up to a road (it may be muddy) with some road walking on a quiet country road. We end the walk with a lovely stretch back into Hartington. There are a number of stone stiles on the walk, some of which are quite high. We also walk through a couple of fields with cattle/sheep so dogs will need to be on a lead. Nottingham HD Lite Those walkers wishing to do a shorter walk (approx 5 miles) will walk to Pilsbury (just before the castle remains) and will then divert to join the return route. The plan is to stop for lunch prior to the Lite walkers departing. Tea, cakes and ice creams will be available at Hartington Farm shop and café. Look forward to seeing you there. Notts HD New to Nottingham HD? For those of you who have not walked with us before, we normally bring a packed lunch and walk for around 4 - 4.5 hours, with some people stopping for tea & refreshments afterwards. What to bring If you are new, you might want to read what you need to bring (food, drink, clothing) and a bit more general information about the walks on our general info page on this site.
