Ticknall Life, Derbyshire

There are so many alternative routes around the area that it is not easy to decide which partcular route to take. Visitors who are new to the area will probably wish to take a route that passes through the Calke Estate, but there are lots of features of interest such as Anchor Church, the Achorite Cell on the banks of the River Trent or the grounds of Foremarke Hall, or Knowle Hill.

Those visiting Ticknall for the first time may wish to just enjoy learning about the village by following the Ticknall Trail.
