This week’s circular walk takes you from the picturesque village of Burton Joyce into surrounding countryside and a nearby nature reserve.
Most of this circular walk is on flat surfaced paths, though there are some steep gradients along the way, and several kissing gates.
Some sections of the route may become muddy and slippery in bad weather, so please be cautious. For these reasons, part of the walk may not be suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
Map of the walk
This route begins at the junction of Main Street and Hillside Drive in Burton Joyce. Follow the ascending path on Hillside Drive. At the top, turn left and branch right soon afterwards. Go down to the bottom of the slope, turn left and then right, down another slope to Park Lane. Cross the road and take the path round the right-hand side of the field and through the trees at the top.
Emerging into a field, head left until you see a gate on the left, allowing you into the Reed Pond Nature Reserve. Cross the road and go uphill. Continue on this path, which eventually becomes Bridle Road. Follow it all the way back into Burton Joyce.
Turn left into Main Street and return to the start.
