Vintage Rambles with rafa and Flake

Rafa is back!! This walk is nearly as old as he is, having first featured back in September 2013! But like Rafa not too much has changed, except maybe he took it a little slower this time. There are some fantastic views on this walk of Bolsover Castle and Sutton Scarsdale Hall and it’s great for the dogs, with plenty of opportunity to go off lead. However, please be careful, especially if your dogs have a high prey drive, as there are phesants in the woods and sheep protected by electric fences.

5 MILE CIRCULAR FROM BOLSOVER WITH VIEWS OF SUTTON SCARSDALE HALL AND BOLSOVER CASTLE

A moderate walk for you and your dog with some gradualy climbs. This walk should take 2 to 21/2 hours. There are some sections which cross fields, which may be particularly muddy if it has been wet. There is also a section of road to walk along so please take care and make sure you wear appropriate footwear for the conditions. And as always, follow the countryside code!

START: PETER FIDLER RESERVE CAR PARK, RIVERSIDE WAY, BOLSOVER, S44 6GA

1. To begin go through the gate opposite the car park entrance. Continue along the path with a metal fence on your left. Keep to the main path to pass a sculpture on the left. 2. Continue to cross a lane and continue along the trail. Then after a short distance pass under a bridge. After some distance you arrive at a crossroads of footpaths. 3. Turn right and pass through a width restrictor and along the path before crossing over a footbridge. In front of you is a large pond. Go diagonally left and then skirt around the left-hand edge of the pond. On the opposite side of the pond you will find a marker post and a stile. 4. Cross over the stile and head diagonally left across the field, heading towards ‘Sutton Scarsdale Hall’ on the horizon. After passing underneath a telegraph wire, continue to keep

left of some old stone buildings in the field. At the far edge of the field, turn left along a farm track keeping a fence and the motorway on your right. Continue until you reach a road. 5. At the road turn right and go over the motorway.

Follow the road round to the left and uphill *At this point, If you wish to take a closer look at Sutton Scarsdale Hall, take the path on the right, half way up the hill* 6. Continue along the road into ‘Sutton Scarsdale’. After the road bends sharp right you will see a footpath to the left sign posted for Heath Village.

Take the footpath heading downhill across a field. 7. At the bottom right-hand corner of the field, cross a footbridge and then over a stile into another field. In this field, head straight uphill. At the far end, cross over a stile adjacent to a telegraph pole and onto a lane. 8. Cross straight over the lane through a gate and into another field. Keeping the hedge on your right, go to the bottom of the field to cross another stile. 9. Now you have the hedge on your right and trees on your left. Continue straight ahead to cross another stile onto a lane. Cross over the lane diagonally right, ensuring that in the next field you have the hedge on your left. With the hedge on your left and going gently downhill, go to the bottom left-hand corner of this field. 10. Go through a gap in the fence and cross a footbridge. Go straight ahead, passing through a gap in the boundary of the field, then, at a marker post, turn left. Continue along the edge of the field, then immediately after a pylon on your left, turn left down a farm track. 11. Continue ahead, keeping the hedge on your right. The path curves left and then right, through a gap into another field and continues downhill with the hedge on the right. When the hedge on the right ends, continue straight towards the motorway crossing an open field. 12. Go over a stile to cross another field, at the far edge of this field turn left keeping the fence on the right. Upon reaching a lane turn right to pass under the motorway. 13. Continue straight to cross an open field heading for a gap in the hedge. After passing through the gap turn left keeping the hedge on your left.

Follow the hedge around to the right and after a short distance, go over a stile on your left. Then go over a footbridge and over a second stile into a field. 14. Cross the field diagonally right, keeping Bolsover Castle straight ahead. In the far righthand corner of the field turn right to cross over a footbridge. Now go diagonally left across a field and then over a stile into a wooded area. After a short distance, go over another stile and into a field. 15. Go diagonally left across the field and then over a stile onto a well laid path (The Stockley Trail). Turn left along the trail, which you can follow, over a road and back to the car park.
