Take the mtb route up/down through the wood to the North East of the statue, look out for it near the bench on the main gravel track

The Clowne Greenway is a reclaimed railway, travelling through cuttings (known locally as the canyons) which will excite geologists. The rock faces are home for many species of wild flowers, insects, mammals and birds.

The station was opened without ceremony on 1 November 1888. The line was single track between Seymour Junction and Elmton and Creswell. Accordingly, the station had a single, curving platform and typical Midland Railway country station building very similar to those at Bolsover Castle and Glapwell. Remarkably, the station survived into the 21st Century, being demolished in 2000. On 4 July 1938 the station was renamed "Clown and Barlborough", then renamed again by British Railways on 18 June 1951, this time by adding a "e" to become "Clowne and Barlborough". The trackbed is now a greenway with the platform of Clowne and Barlborough as well as Clowne South Station visible. The station site forms a greenway between Staveley and Creswell via Clowne.

always muddy on that bottom bit - be careful if ascending it as MTBers come flying down it

technically not for cycling along as only a footpath but with gravel this good it's criminal not to. watch out for golfers teeing off

Nice easy flat ride round both lakes a mixture of gravel paths and tarmac roads around the park also a caffe and toilets within the park.

Feels other worldly, beautiful setting. Fascinating history.
