where the old coal mines once stood.....

We will meet at pools brook country park car park and follow the old railway lines to the end where the old arkwright colliery once stood. we will get on the road and start heading upwards towards sutton scarsdale where we can take a stop to look at the ruins of the once magnificent hall .
Onwards towards palterton,saying hello to a few alpacas on the way gets us to the stockley trail.
Ending the trail brings us out at the bottom of bolsover hill.
Back on the road we will head back towards markham vale,pools brook,for a well earned cafe stop.
This ride has a few hills with rewarding downhills.
