Peaceful yet dramatic scenery with plenty of walking routes. From a beautiful Riverside walk to climbing the top of Thorpe Cloud hill and of course crossing the famous stepping-stones - there is something for everyone.
Newstead Abbey
A beautiful historic Monastery set in a landscape of gardens, parkland and a lake within the heart of Nottinghamshire. There is even a small waterfall with a viewing platform behind to enjoy!
