Starting at the post office in Gringley-on-the-Hill, this walk takes advantage of two long-distance footpaths which converge just to the north of Gringley.
The first is the Cuckoo Way, which starts at the River Trent near West Stockwith and runs mainly along the Chesterfield Canal to Chesterfield. We only use the stretch between Gringley and the little Nottinghamshire village of Clayworth, where many narrowboats and cruisers moor near the rowing club.
Here, using green lanes and field-paths, we cross to the next of the long-distance footpaths, the Trent Valley Way. This path runs from Long Eaton, south of Nottingham, sharing the last stretch up to West Stockwith with the Cuckoo Way, running alongside the Chesterfield Canal. We follow the Trent Valley Way over fields and through woodland, back to Gringley.
