ホッカートンの湖・トップ9

Delightful & easy path around the Lake and over several footbridges. Suitable for all ages, all abilities and all weathers! Lots of viewpoints and bench seats.

The park has different trails, including flat paths and steeper climbs. If you're looking for a challenge, try the route up Clipstone Tip for spectacular views.

This 10-foot-high sculpture of a human hand was created by an artistic cooperative called BANK well over 20 years ago. It was crafted as part of a national cycling network project, organized by the charity Sustrans. From afar, it appears to be constructed of metal, however, it’s in fact made from fiberglass.

At the centre of the park is Vicar Pond, a large fishing lake created by the fifth Duke of Portland in the 1870s. In the past the lake has been used for boating and swimming. Today it’s returned to its original use and offers a thriving coarse fishery.

good starting point for walks and bike rides, can easily get into sherwood pines from here and all surrounding routes, a very nice area and seems popular for fishing

Originally created in 1750 as a water-source for a corn mill, the lake is now a haven for wildlife, especially waterfowl. A path of crushed limestone circles the lake, most of this is flat and accessible, with one incline near "Scotland Bank" which may be a challenge to some wheelchair users.

Nice place for a picnic

This former Cistercian abbey, originally founded in 1148 by Gilbert de Gaunt, has today been wonderfully restored to its more recent incarnation as a fine Elizabethan house. Amenities include a café, toilets and a gift shop. The surrounding grounds boast a glorious 130-acre (53 ha) country park. There are delightful lakeside and native woodland walking trails, as well as formal gardens to explore.
