Farnsfield, Edingley and Hexgreave Park, 20th September 2020

A good turnout (10) for Dave and Elaine's walk considering that thirteen of us were in Selworthy.  From St Michael's Church in Farnsfield we first went southwest along Coombs Lane and then up through Coombs Wood to cross Greaves Lane and climb up to Robin Hood Hill for coffee. Returning to Greaves Lane, we followed it for over a mile before leaving to pass through Old Hall Farm and Cotton Mill Farm and across fields to St Giles' Church, Edingley for lunch.

From Edingley, we crossed fields to reach the Southwell Trail but left it soon afterwards to head for Hexgreave Park and its large herd of deer.

Robin Hood Hill.  This is actually a 3,000-year-old burial mound rich in Bronze Age and Roman relics
