Walking Around Britain is an e-book series aimed at the walker who wants more than just an internet route to follow. It is for walkers of all abilities and ages, from a simple 3 mile route suitable for kids, to the 20 mile routes for the more serious hiker. The different routes may be urban routes, nature routes, mountain routes, or any other manor of routes that are available in the local area. They are also intended to help search out routes that are not normally featured in the usual literature so taking you along some hidden gem. As the reader is taken on the walk, places of interest will be highlighted and the history of the surrounding area and buildings will be developed. Don’t worry though, the state of the paths and the terrain will also be there for you so you can judge whether it is suitable for kids, the elderly and the disabled. Pubs, cafes and tea shops along the way will be mentioned so you can plan in a stop. The series will also feature photos of the route so you shouldn’t get lost! This guide takes you on a circular walk across the edge of the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border. Starting and ending at the Attenborough Nature Reserve on the edge of Nottinghamshire, this 16.5 mile journey takes you along the rivers and canals of Attenborough, Sawley, Long Eaton, Stapleford, and Trowell before the climb up the Hemlock Stone hill and back through the cycle paths of Bramcote and Chilwell before arriving back at the Nature Reserve. Time to complete: It is a fantastic round trip which could take all day, especially if you choose to stop at the various pubs, cafes and tea shops along the way. The state of the paths: The paths are very well maintained along 95% of the route and even where it is not perfect they should not be a problem for most walkers, even those who are in a wheelchair or who are pushing a child in a buggy. On road or off road: Of the 16.5 miles, only about 1.5 miles is on any form of public road, and even then they are minor roads. Most major roads that need crossing have a green man to get across. This makes the route very suitable for kids. The terrain: The route is flat for 95% of the journey. There are two big hills to go up towards the end of the route, but they are no more than 400 metres each. The first hill is the only part where access may be limited for wheelchair users as the path becomes very narrow, but there is a slight detour indicated to bypass this section Things to look out for: The Attenborough Nature Reserve Bird Hide, the narrow boats going about their business, the chimneys in the industrial heart of Long Eaton, the wildlife along the route from start to finish and the Hemlock Stone itself.
