St Chad's was built by Joseph Paget after he inherited his parents' estate and consequently became a senior partner in nearby Pleasley Vale Mills. In 1876, deciding that his household and mill workers needed a church, a chapel was built overlooking the vale, on the Derbyshire side of the River Meden. The chapel was built of timber, painted white, by Cox & Sons of London. After disagreement "over the style of services conducted in the church" Joseph Paget had the church dismantled and rebuilt just over the River Meden boundary in Nottinghamshire, thus moving it from the Diocese of Lichfield to the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham. The church was reconstructed in brick and stone, with a bell tower and lead roof.

Exploring potential cycle route from Shirebrook/Littlewood Lane through to Pleasley Vale/ St Chads alongside River Meden. Path on west side of Meden obstructed by wooden stile then after 300m steep stone stile - couldn't safely lift ebike. Tried east of river, OK to ride but St Chads exit blocked by tight kissing gate - just managed to get Creo 2 through by lifting up vertical on back wheel.

Beautiful park full of woodland trails and a serpentine lake, lots to see and explore with a historical chapel and ornamental bridge, cycle hire available too in the park.

Nice easy ride for all on a gravel path

Due to its venerable age, an old legend has manifested itself on this large oak tree: the story of ROBIN HOOD, which has been told over and over again for many centuries - although by no means historically confirmed - and is known and loved from literature and film far beyond the borders of England. This tree is said to have given him and his loyal followers, whose area of activity is located in Sherwood Forest, shelter here. You may want to believe it or not - the main thing is: the myth lives on!

Great place for some XC mountain biking. Nothing very extreme so really good for Beginners or youngsters. If you're looking for hardcore downhill or bike park Wales-type trails you'll be disappointed as there is not much in the way of elevation. Cafe on-site and a bike shop too with a jet wash to clean your bike off after your ride. Can get very busy at weekends.

Located between Mansfield and Bolsover, this picturesque woodland is rapidly developing into one of the most attractive wildlife sites in the region. With its mixture of mature broadleaf woodland, newly planted trees, large open meadows and a scenic wetland valley, Shirebrook Wood offers something for everybody.

As a former pit top site, Shirebrook Wood has been reclaimed & redeveloped with large-scale planting of native shrubs and trees and the whole site has been totally landscaped, The Derbyshire side (West) has been turned into an Industrial Estate.

In 2022, the Major Oak was selected as one of 70 ancient trees from around the UK to take their place in the Queen's Green Canopy, a 70th anniversary program to inspire the planting of new trees across the country. This oak is very old and must be supported because of its weight.

The Major Oak is said to have been the shelter of Robin Hood and his merry men. One thing is certain: It's very old, and is probably Britain's most visited tree.

Clumber Park was once the home of the Duke of Newcastle but the mansion was demolished in 1938. It's now a beautiful estate of parkland, heath, woods and the lake. It's now managed by the National Trust. The parkland is free to access but there are paid entry or members areas. NT cafes, ice cream van and shop on site. There are also over 20miles of traffic free cycle ways on the estate, most are better suited for a mountain or touring bike but they are flat and not technical so if you don't mind getting a bit muddy...

Once you are there, there are multiple trails to choose from. Terrain suitable for a pushchair/wheelchair depending on the trail choice. Car park - spacious, daily cost of £4.50.

Miles of relatively traffic-free roads to explore this leafy parkland. A great place to picnic on a warm summer day, but a lovely quiet area at any time of year.

Bike shop, cafe (only takeaway at the moment) and toilets. There is also a visitor centre but I've never been in there. Would definitely recommend the sausage rolls from the cafe and the bacon cobs are quite nice too :)
