For readers who have never had the opportunity to visit Ticknall, Patrick Leach has made a video which gives a taste of Ticknall parish and surrounding areas.
The video has a running time of 20 minutes and includes visits to Swarkestone, Foremarke and Staunton reservoirs and Calke Park as well as some local walks.
On the video, made in March 2016, and written by Bob Morgan with photography and sound by Martin Roy, Patrick provides the commentary and is also the creator of the background music.
Our congratulations and thanks to them for an excellent introduction to our part of South Derbyshire.
