Newark Ramblers Walk

Collingham and The Roman Road

Circular Walk by the Newark Rambler

This 5 mile, easy going, walk begins at Collingham Co-op and follows public footpaths, bridleways and byways through lovely countryside. You may see hares and other wildlife. Take care on the unmarked level crossings!

Take the footpath left of the Co-op and turn right down Swinderby road watching out for the signpost on the left to the COMMUNITY ORCHARD –a very pleasant spot. Turn right through the orchard, then down Pocklington Road. Cross the bridge to the left and follow the track across a large field and across a level crossing. Continue left across fields until you hit a grassy bridleway. Head right up to the road and go left until a bridleway on the right leading up to Halfway Home Dog rescue. Follow this, past the home, until you reach another road. Go left, past Potterhill farm, to another bridleway on the right. Take the bridleway and follow the track until just before a house. The wooden footpath sign may be hidden by trees but it points left along the edge of a field a short distance to a public bridleway along the side of the A46. Go right along this and the next footpath on the right will be the Roman Road (now a grassy track which can be very muddy but)!

Follow this until you emerge on a byway. Carry straight on and join a road – again go straight on. A little way down you will see a public footpath sign pointing right. Follow the path watching out for a gap on the left leading across to the railway line. Cross the line and go along the field edge to the right. A bit along you will see a diagonal path leading to a lane. At the end of this go down The Paddocks and follow the paths leading back to the Co-op.
