Should you find yourself travelling on East Midlands Trains, why not pick up a copy of their free magazine Journeys? The Winter 2008 issue contains a short article by (hem, hem) me on the Robin Hood Line (that's Nottingham to Worksop).
It mostly looks at Newstead Abbey (where Lord Byron lived) and Creswell Crags.
Nottingham and Worksop, bah!
ReplyDeleteNottingham was the villain of the stories. Robin was based around Barnsdale further up Watling Street in Yorkshire.
It's like having Sparta claim credit for Athens' democracy.
Robin Hood line - now open Sundays, too.
ReplyDeleteHave you been to Newstead Abbey recently? I was really quite amazed at how good it is!
For some pictures of the original Creswell station see http://cli.gs/zJQg5H where I was bought up in the 50's
