You may have seen some of the walks we’ve posted before here: ‘walks’. Unlike the other walks, if you live in Goscote, this involves no car.
We tend to say, there’s no nice walk around Goscote, you need to drive somewhere, but actually, there is.
Below is a simple 7 miler, that circles around Wreake Valley School pass by The Gate Hangs Well pub (after a swift half) , up the River Wreake pass the Beedles Lake Golf Course, skirt Ratcliffe on the Wreake, pass Reasby Mill Cottage, through Reasby (another swift half), and back through Goscote.
You can cut it short if you use Broome Lane to cut off the Rearsby/Ratcliffe bit if you want.
Yes, there are a few cow and sheep fields, there will be mud if it’s been raining and at the height of growth there may be some nettles to pass by, but that’s all part of walking in the great out doors I guess.
Happy walking!
Another walk we extended recently is below. This one’s about 8 miles, and circles from Barrow-upon-Soar, along the Rover Soar, through Mountsorrel, around Buddon Wood Quarry, skirting Swithland Reservoir, through Quorn and back to Barrow.
Both of these walks are right on our doorstep (for those who live here) and have some beautiful aspects. You will never find them if you don’t venture forth.
Like reading, fresh air and ‘the natural’ can be good for you. Search wild, nature…
