Calke Park to Ticknall Limeyards Walk
This tranquil walk takes you through a varied landscape of grasslands, arable farmland and one of Europe’s rarest habitats – wood pasture. Along the way you will take in the Ticknall Limeyards, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) site.
The Limeyards date back to the 15th Century and have been managed to allow calcareous grassland flora to thrive. The common spotted orchids that can be seen here reach their peak from late June to early July.
A circular route with stepped and stone paths, kissing gates and stiles. The walk takes approximately two hours to complete.
Please enquire at the property for more accessible routes.
Dogs are welcome but please keep on a lead as there are livestock in surroundings fields – take a look at our Pocket Guide for Dog Walkers.
