Local Erewash Walks

A series of 21 walks in Erewash and surrounding countryside

We recently rediscovered a stack of old country walk leaflets in a drawer and thought it would be an excellent idea to share them with you. The leaflets were created in 2001 by a group of organisations working together, including Erewash Borough Council, Erewash Groundwork, the Countryside Commission and the Ramblers ,  so the maps may not include recent additions to the landscape but we hope you can make use of them and get out and get active around Erewash.
