The highlight of the year for Ruddington Footpath Preservation Group is its day walk. In mid-July, 12 members enjoyed a not-too-arduous walk around the Vale of Belvior, which included the Grantham Canal, part of the Viking Way and the grounds of Belvoir Castle. This was followed by lunch at the Dirty Duck at Woolsthorpe and a preview of Belvoir’s new Engine Yard retail complex.
The Footpath Group organises walks on the first Sunday of every month, setting off from The Green at 2.15pm. September’s walk is Hickling and Hickling Standard, taking in a stretch of the Grantham Canal. New members are welcome to join us for any of the monthly walks.
