ピルスリーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Ran in road shoes , paths are great 👍 might take longer to run if you are like me and always taking photos 📸 😆

Charming path alongside the stream, through the trees of Broomridding Wood. A more intimate & pretty alternative to the Five Pits Trail (via Dark Lane).

The church dates from the late 13th century but was heavily rebuilt in 1850 by the contractor C. Lindley of Mansfield to the designs of the architect Thomas Chambers Hine. It reopened on 1 January 1851.

At either end of the Tom Hulatt Mile between Pilsley and Tibshelf, there are memorials that celebrate the life of the Derbyshire athlete who came 3rd in the historic race in which Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile in 1954. Hulatt worked in coal mines at Holmewood and Williamthorpe, walking the four miles there from his home in Tibshelf and running back along the old railway line. He died aged 59 in 1990 and is buried in the village churchyard.

Locko Plantation was once a slag heap for Pilsley Colliery.

There has been a church at Tibshelf since the twelfth century though no trace remains of the original building. The oldest remaining part of the church is the tower which dates from the 15th century. Parts of the north aisle date from 1729. The chancel and south aisle date from 1910 after a fire destroyed that which had been built in the 18th century. In the church yard are the graves of six local men who died in World War 1 and three who died in World War 2, as well as a war memorial with names of the fallen from the village.

Described as one of Bolsover District’s best kept secrets, Doe Hill Country Park is on the outskirts of Tibshelf and Newton, covering 43 hectares. It is a mix of broad-leaved woodland, species-rich grassland and wetland and is the perfect spot for scenic walks, bike rides, bird watching and a spot of photography. Personally, I didn't think it was all that scenic except for lake (which was the other side of a hedge) and the buttercups!

And the place for Bluebells in the Spring. There's a circular path not shown on the map which drops down to and then follows the stream. Well worth leaving the Five Pits Trail for a walk, muddy in the winter.
