Welcome to the July edition of the Amber Valley Voice and firstly I should start with a sincere apology to some of the Swanwick residents, who did not receive their copy of Junes AVV until very late. This issue has now been rectified and should not occur again but I would like to thank all the people that contacted me to inform me that it had not been received. It is a true testament to the fact that the community enjoys reading the maga-zine and whilst ever that is the case, I will continue to publish!! We have some fantastic local events coming up in the coming month, book a diary space for the family picnic in the park on the 16th August organised by the Friends of Riddings Schools and Alfreton Ladies Football Club are looking for players of all ages and abilities, see page 6 for more de-tails. We also have Greenwood Archery on page 11, who are providing a taster session...I’m really excited about this and will be booking myself in!

Happy Reading! Emily

� Park in the free car park that are available in Codnor Park reservoir, located off Coach Road

� Take the path at the western end of the car park that leads you along the side of the reservoir. At the end of the reservoir the path meets another. Bear left and continue along the path that runs alongside the canal.

� At the end of the path you pass through a gate and up a small hill to meet Newlands Road. Turn left and walk past the left side junction for Coach Road then cross the road when safe and take the turn on the right for Coach Road.

� Carryon along Coach Road. Approximately 1 mile up the road there is a left hand turn, marked by 2 cottages on the corner of the turn. This road takes you up beside the police headquarters.

� Just past the entrance to the police headquarters site keep to the right hand side of the road. Take a wide path that heads towards the supermarket. Cross the main road and take the path to the left that takes you alongside the roundabout. Where this path meets the road cross carefully and head down towards a gate which brings you onto a large park area.

� Bear to the left around the park. When you reach a skate park keep to the left and take a footpath out of the park into a field.

� Head left along the field. When you reach the metal fence turn left and keep to the path that goes around the outside of the industrial estate.

� At the far end of the industrial estate the path splits. Take a right and carry on until you meet the road. Cross the road and head left towards the junction with Alfreton Road. Turn right heading up the hill. When safe cross to the left hand side of the road.

7 Mile Circular Walk from Codnor Park Reservoir to Codnor Castle Another great walk for you and your dog it offers a range of scenery and plenty of off-lead walking. The route is fairly long taking about 3 1/2 hours. It is fairly undulating with some uphill sections and the terrain is mixed with some sections

which may be best tackled with a sturdy pair of boots.

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. The Amber Valley Voice takes no responsibility for anyone who

chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the

area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

� After the large road sign take a jitty with a footpath sign. Follow this path over a num-ber of fields, with the hedge on your left.

� After about 3/4 of a mile this will bring you to Castle Lane. Head right along the road until it veers right. Head straight on taking a track down the hill. To your right is Con-dor Castle. Look for a gap in the hedge where you can walk up to the castle if you wish.

� Carry on along the track as it bears around to the left. When you reach some woods on your right enter through a gate and look for a path going right. Take this path until you reach a bridge over the railway. Cross the bridge and turn left onto the footpath in the woods.

� When the path crosses another path turn left and follow this path along to a stile. Cros the stile and a bridge onto the towpath of the Cromford Canal.

� Carry on along the towpath for approximately 1 mile as it takes you through Ironville and to Codnor Park Reservoir.

� At the reservoir keep to the left crossing a small metal bridge back into the car park.
