Guided tour covering the rich history of a beautiful community-owned wildlife site that sits on the edge of the historic Clipstone Deer Park near Mansfield. Our site's story connects with Sherwood Forest, King's Clipstone, and King John's Palace.

This tour will is run by volunteers from the Forest Town Nature Conservation Group. When the group purchased the Spa Ponds site in 2014 we embarked upon a journey of discovery to learn about the site's ancient and recent history. We will take you on a walk from the site's entrance off Clipstone Drive near the White Gates pub all the way along the public bridleway and footpaths to the River Maun and then back to the entrance.
