Shirebrook to Worksop
A station-to-station walkDerbyshireEast Midlands
An excellent route. A fairly direct, mostly off-road route on good traffic-free tracks, old railway path and field/parkland through the Welbeck Estate, with some pasture (potential cattle) and 3 stiles and 4 short flights of steps near Worksop. Some pavement walking from the stations at either end. Passes through the Welbeck Estate and Creswell Crags; the path runs over a tunnel created by the 5th Duke of Portland; a loop into Creswell village offers shops, buses and trains halfway.
1 lunch spot: Creswell Crags Visitor Centre cafe
Warnings: Steps at the crossing of the A57, which has no assistance for walkers; two further road crossings need care; pasture fields on the fringe of parkland mean potential cattle.
