Ghosts, Lovers and a Four Poster Bed - Day Walk

Take a wander back through time on this hilly route around Teversal. This walk offers great views including the settings for some famous literary works and tales of ghostly sightings.

The network of Teversal Trails result from the railway boom in the Victorian era. With industry thriving in this area, various railway companies built their own lines and competed to carry goods and passengers. Even small towns could have three or four different railway stations on different lines! These became unprofitable and were closed, the last operating line, finally closed in 1978.

Teversal is immortalised as the setting for DH Lawrence’ ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’. Lawrence drew great inspiration from the Nottinghamshire landscape, many places are recognisable in his work, though sometimes place names are changed. Wragby Hall, home of Sir Clifford and Lady Chatterley in the novel, is recognisable as Teversal Manor and the woodlands on the edge of Hardwick Hall estate, visible from Silverhill are where Lady Chatterley and Mellors, her gamekeeper lover, met.

This area is renowned for ghosts. There are many tales of strange happenings at the Carnarvon Arms, which stands at an ancient crossroads. Best known though, is ‘Flat Cap’, an old miner who wandered the workings of Silverhill Colliery, even talking to the miners
