A circular walk of 4.5 miles from Nettleton village. This walk passes through an area that was, until a few decades ago, one of the most industrial parts of the Wolds. Today the Nettleton Valley is a grassy, peaceful picturesque place, and from the top there are fine views towards the River Trent and Lincoln.
