| Walk Name | Around Hardwick Park |
| Description | A mostly flat walk (just a gentle ascent at the beginning) through Hardwick Park and the surrounding woods and trails. Starting from the Hardwick Inn car park, we ascend gently up to Lady Spencer’s Wood before making our way through the Park to the tiny hamlet of Ault Hucknall. We then walk through fields to the lovely Rowthorne Trail, onto the Teversal Trail and then back through the woods to Hardwick, where we can enjoy a drink in the Hardwick Inn. There may be a couple of muddy sections after heavy rain. LUNCH STOP – this will be nearer the end of the walk rather than in the middle of it, as we can avail ourselves of the many tables/benches at the visitor centre (toilets here also). So youmay want to have a snack at the coffee break (about an hour into the walk, at Ault Hucknall). |

| Start Point Details | The Hardwick Inn car park. I have checked and we are ok to park here; I have told them that some of us will be having a drink in the pub after the walk (they also do excellent food!). For those not staying for a drink, there is also space to park on the short road leading up to the Inn. |
