モーリーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A scenic, peaceful, and popular, privately-owned, man-made lake situated within the historic Locko Park estate. It is surrounded by lush green parkland, making it ideal for quiet walks, picnicking, and wildlife watching.

Ownership of the estate and surrounding area is recorded back as early as the Doomsday book of 1086, when the land is recorded as belonging to a Saxon called Stori. Following the Norman Conquest, the Manor of Spondon was one of 210 manors awarded to Baron Henri de Ferriers, a Norman companion of William the Conqueror, for his bravery and support during the Battle of Hastings. In 1180, descendant William de Ferriers gave the land to the Burton Lazars of Leicestershire, an order of St. Lazarus monks dedicated to the care and nursing of lepers. The monks founded a leper hospital on the Locko Estate to the rear of the existing Locko Hall building. Indeed, the name Locko derives from the hospital, coming from the old French word 'loques', meaning rags.

A 9.21-hectare (approx. 23-acre) ancient oak woodland, cherished as a tranquil community nature spot. Declared a Local Nature Reserve in 1991, it boasts over 400 years of history, with features like spring bluebells, wildlife spotting (woodpeckers, squirrels), and a 0.6-mile circular walking trail.

Really lovely every time we have been staff have been wonderful, food is lovely and the venue itself is very well planned out for seating, especially like the hooks outside for your dog to be attached to rather than worrying your dog is going to take the table with them when a squirrel catches their eye 😆

The original Church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1865, but was badly affected by subsidence from the local coal mines and closed for rebuilding in 1964. The National Coal Board agreed to finance a new church, which had to be designed to withstand any further subsidence. It was built on a concrete raft, with large A-framed beams as the main church support, giving it a modern triangular appearance, re-opening in 1966.
