Another walk in North Nottinghamshire again today, visiting Blyth for the second time this week, this time stopping to take some photographs, quite a few photographs actually...it's a pretty village.
I travelled to Hawks Nest, a location just to the south of Bawtry and walked down the road to Scrooby. I was here last week and so didn't take many photographs. I didn't mean to start today's walk near to Scrooby but I got on the wrong bus because the sun was in my eyes and I couldn't see the destination blind properly.
I left the village and took the path that goes across the fields to the Ranskill to Mattersey road. Not long after going over the level crossing the path was blocked, a footbridge over a drainage dyke had been removed. Fortunately I only had to re-trace my steps for a few hundred yards before I found an alternative route.
I ate my sandwiches in a stubble field with a good view of the railway line; six trains passed and I managed to photograph five of them - this was my best effort.
On the way to Mattersey Grange there's an animal hotel.
I thought I'd better not go this way.
I didn't enter Ranskillat this point, instead I took the footpath that goes through the woods to the level crossing on Station Road.
I had to wait several minutes for three trains to pass.
There's a path that comes out onto the main road near the cemetery, I still had to walk a few hundred yards until I reached Torworth. There was nothing to photograph at Torworth; I walked quickly through the village and then down the road to Blyth. Fortunately today, unlike Tuesday, I had a camera that works and so I spent at least half an hour exploring the village.
I headed southwest across the fields to Hodsock; there's an abbey there...it's really a stately home that's used as a wedding venue though.
