Jinny Nature Trail (Rolleston-on-Dove)

It's a lovely walk and a journey down the history lane as it used to be an old railway line. With pictures and descriptions of the station and other facilities and historical facts. Absolutely loved it. Great wildlife as well. Well worth a visit. About an hours walk there and back to the stating point.

A lovely walk through the old railway route down a cleared path. They've added some information boards and a bit of old track. Muddy but the dog loved it. Worth trekking down, lovely and quiet. You can certainly get a mobility scooter down it. Not sure how easy the gate in the middle it will be but can do half of it no problem. There are quirrels during the day and bats flying overhead when it's dark. Just a nice walk.

Great walk, took about 45 minutes to do overall so ok for the beginner and you get a sense of being at one with nature throughout. Interesting features too as it’s an old abandoned railway.

An excellent recreation of the former Rolleston on Dove railway station that closed in the 1960s. See where the platforms and various station buildings would have been prior to their erasure. Now a nature trail, you walk the track bed all the way to Stretton in the south. Fascinating how nature has reclaimed this once industrial place. Recommended.

Stunning walk with even some of the old railway tracks and platform available for viewing.
