Kelham and Averham Park, 21st May 2023

 Phil's 6-mile walk took 20 of us from Kelham along the old Trent Valley Way and past the Kelham Hills to Averham Park.  The TVW originally did not rejoin the Trent until Rolleston but the latest version does so at Averham Village but necessitates a walk along the busy A617.  From the Equestrian Centre at the Park we turned north to reach Muskham Woodhouse Farm for an early lunch before dropping back near Debdale Hill to reach our start point on Ollerton Road.
