Melton, Scalford and Holwell, 6th March 2016

Paul's walk expored the undulating countyside in the Melton/Scalford/Holwell triangle, an area with ironstone quarries and mineral railways.  The walk started in Melton County Park ...

 

... and headed north from the lake up beside Scalford Brook and the Bingham to Melton disused mineral railway, one of many in the area.
