The Barn at the Orchards guidebook
Outdoor - walks and cycling
The Orchards and the Barn sits in 16 acres of land we own where we graze our horses.
You can walk through our fields to Blidworth Bottoms woods where there is lots of walking, cycling and horse riding trails to explore...plus one of our village pubs - the Fox and Hounds where you can have a drink and a bite to eat.
The village boast lots of connections to Robin Hood - Maid Marion's cottage, Friar Tucks well and Will Scarlets grave is said to be in the village area. Fountaindale, where Friar Tuck carried Robin Hood over a stream on his back is only a short walk away from the Barn...The Major Oak tree and Robin Hood visitors centre and Nottingham Castle are only a short drive away.
Great area for mountain biking and walking. You can cycle there on tracks from the Barn in 30 mins
