Spring is fast approaching, which hopefully means that we can start expecting longer days and (slightly) warmer weather.
For many, spring can’t come quick enough.
The depressing nature of the winter months means they can drag on, but over the next few weeks we should be able to enjoy some weather which encourages us to spend a bit more time outside.
There are loads of great walks to choose from here in Nottinghamshire - and that’s before you even consider what the nearby Peak District has to offer.
The team here at Nottingham World love inspiring you to explore some of the county’s hidden gems and today we’re feeling rather exotic.
With the help of a handy guide produced by Muddy Stilettos, we’re showing you seven stunning waterfall walks to try across Nottinghamshire and the Peak District.
Some of these you will have heard of before, but others are slightly more off the beaten path.
5. Newstead Abbey waterfall
Muddy Stilettos said: "Newstead has over 800 years of history and is the former home of Lord Byron (swoon) so as you’d expect, there are acres of grounds to explore. The waterfall is located where the River Leen feeds the Garden Lake." | Alan Murray-Rust Photo: Alan Murray-Rust
6. Monsal Dale weir
Muddy Stilettos said: "Okay, this one isn’t technically a waterfall, but it’s a spot you don’t want to miss if you’re heading out this summer. Just down from the world famous Monsal Trail, this weir can be dramatic when we’ve had some heavy rain (common in Derbyshire, who knew?) so bring your waterproofs." | Andrew Tyron Photo: Andrew Tyron
