Tips from the Community
Lime Tree Avenue is one of Clumber Parks most striking features. At around two miles long, and lined with 1,296 lime trees, it's recognised as the longest double avenue of lime trees in Europe. Leading into the heart of the park, it's a wonderful place that gives a very strong sense of arrival.

Gates into Sandbeck Estate, on the A61 just north of Oldcotes. Well worth a look. There is a bit of space to park for a few mins in front of the gates. W3W locator - ///icebergs.committed.lyrics

The place name Firbeck is thought to derive from a wood streamlet, or beck of the Frith.

The Church of St Peter is found at the west end of the village of Letwell, near Rotherham, in South Yorkshire. The church was built around 1375 by John Mauleverer, but has been substantially altered several times. Much of the church was later rebuilt in 1820, at the expense of Henry Gally Knight FRS, the owner of Firbeck Hall, but was largely destroyed by fire a few decades later. The tower, along with the vestry are all that remain of the church following a fire which occurred in 1867. The fire was inadvertently started by one Harry Radley, who was sexton at the time. In response to complaints from the parishioners that they were too cold, he had over-stoked the coal-fired boiler which led to the fire. The church today consists of the 14th century tower with a Victorian nave and apse. It is Grade II* listed.
