Overview

From Winster  we will go to Elton and through Gratton Dale to Pikehall and over to Royston Rocks and Royston Grange (site of a medieval grange and field system and a 19c pump house). We will then go to Minninglow Hill where there is a Neolithic Chambered tomb and Bronze Age barrows. From here we go to Alwark and cross fields to return to Winster on the Limestone way.

The walk is mainly on good paths, tracks and minor roads with only short sections of more challenging path which can be taken carefully or avoided by a road detour.

This is a car ramble so we will meet to share cars on Ecclesall Road at the junctions of Knowle Lane and Millhouses Lane. We aim to leave by 9.15.

There will probably be parking in Winster but if using a car park the one on East Bank (Bank Top) involves a walk down into the village but is handy for the return. We will meet on Main St by the Market House.

Buses: From Pond St 08.30 218 or 08.46 272  From Arundel Gate 08.31 81 or 08.47 82
