Vintage Rambles with rafaand Flake
This month’s walk is one of my favourites and perfect for a nice summers day. The walk begins at the Creswell Crags Museum Car Park, where there is a nice café if you need refuelling before or after the walk. We head east past the Welbeck Estate across Gouldsmeadow Lake and into White Deer Park before bearing north. Upon reaching the edge of Worksop Manor Park we turn east bearing towards Hodthorpe and then back south towards Cresswell

A medium length walk which should take you and your dog around 3-4 hours to complete. There are a few short sections of road so please take care. Most of the walk is on paths and trails but please wear appropriate footwear and please follow the countrys
1. With your back to the car park entrance walk to the far end to pass a memorial on your left. Ignore a bridleway on your left and walk ahead through a small wooden gate and along a lane.
2. After some distance pass through a small wooden gate to reach a road. Cross over and pass through a gap adjacent to a large metal gate and continue along a tarmac lane and signposted bridleway.
