Second Nutbrook Coffee Shop Walk

Saturday 25th July A nice group of us gathered at Nutbrook Cricket Club for a little walk to the Nutbrook Coffee Shop. At the start of July we visited there on the longer walk - Nutbrook Coffee Shop Walk.

This shorter walk was suitable for more clients this time. It was a reasonable distance for one client coming back from a broken foot (thanks to a dog toy & stairs, nothing to do with my training) and another after having her baby. The whole route from Nutbrook CC to Nutbrook CS is almost 100% smooth path with no stiles or gates in the way for a pushchair. The Nutbrook Trail really is very useful for an active life, perfect space for walking, jogging, cycling, getting fresh air with the kids as there are numerous parks and green spaces along it to explore. Once again for the walks the weather was spot on, the sun was out and a little bit of shade along the route. 

We got to the tea rooms in just under an hour, walking at a nice steady pace looking at the wildlife along the way. 

Thankfully we weren't on circular walk 6 today as the cows owned the field now.
Once again the staff at the tearooms were really friendly and the food and drinks went down a treat. I am slowly working my way through their Green Tea selection, it's three different ones I've tried there now. Twinings Cherry Bakewell, Gingerbread and Caramelised Apple. All of them are really nice and I need to add them to my green tea selection at home.


Plotting how to set up their own tea rooms.

Feeling all broody.
It was a nice little walk taking about 2 hours 30 minutes including drink stop, around 6km long. I would recommend a visit to the Nutbrook Coffee Stop if you're walking there from Ilkeston or Shipley. A relaly nice friendly atmosphere and over the Summer Holidays I'm sure they're open everyday, just double check their Facebook before you visit - Nutbrook Coffee Shop.

Enjoy your exercise over the School holidays.
