An all day walk around the southern loop of the John Martin Trail, a
moderately strenuous route of 11.3 miles. This popular walk covers the areas which influenced Victorian artist John Martin, born in the village, who became the ‘most popular artist of his day’. There are regular waymarks and six information panels en route. For information a free walk leaflet with maps is available from Claire’s Newsagents and The Bridge, Church Street, local Tourist Information Centres and the Laing Art Gallery.
