I really enjoyed this short Slow Way linking two settlements along good paths through a green corridor. No stiles good or excellent path surface, no cattle, pavements on roadside walking, no issues at road crossings, no services but plenty of benches along the way. What is there not to like.

Starting at Market Warsop there's inevitably some road side walking to escape the town which is expanding at Stonebridge Fields, why call the development fields when they will vanish? Stonebridge has also gone, a steel and concrete structure now provides a crossing of the fresh looking waters of the River Meden.

The bridge takes us into real countryside and perhaps the least best bit of path on the route but it's well used so no navigation issues. Crossing The road onto the pavement which also has a grass buffer strip between us and traffic it's a short walk to the next path which is a well surfaced but quiet cycleway into the site of what was Warsop Main Colliery, only old maps will confirm this as the area is now green and covered in trees.

After a small car park the track joins what was the rail line that served the colliery so it's straight and wide passing under the access route to a rail test line that leaves the Robin Hood Line at Shirebrook Junction.

The route usefully serves Shirebrook station before a roadside walk into the large market square where the buses stop and there are shops and services.

I walked this as part of a long three part walk from Shirebrook to Sutton on Trent via Market Warsop and New Ollerton. Since I was starting from the station and had a long walk ahead of me, I missed out the short street walk from the centre of Shirebrook, but I have done that before and know that it is fine.

This is an easy walk that fits Slow Ways methodology well, mostly on good surfaced tracks and pavements, apart from a short unsurfaced section on the north side of the river Meden. There are no steps or stiles. Note that on leaving Shirebrook station the path goes down to the right of the road (west) and goes under the road using an old railway bridge - the layout of this area is a little confusing, but would be more obvious in the other direction.

I walked this route from Market Warsop. It begins on quiet residential roads and after crossing the river Meden rises to reach Carter Lane. There is a footway alongside this busy road. We turn off on a gravelled track (signposted as a cycleway) which takes us all the way to Shirebrook station. From here there are quiet roads with pavements all the way to the market place.
