Donisthorpe

The Ashby Woulds Heritage Trail runs along the course of the old railway line from Spring Cottage past Conkers to Donisthorpe Woodland Park between Moira and Donisthorpe.

The park is another old mining area which has been completely transformed by landscaping and tree planting.

A large number of surfaced trails wind their way through the park providing excellent facilities for walkers and cyclists alike.
