We are the Dearne Valley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Just the walk to burn off a few of those Christmas turkey and pudding calories, on good solid paths throughout and no stiles to slow the tempo. Setting off from Old Moor RSPB car park we head north to skirt Wombwell Ings before emerging uphill through the quiet streets of Darfield. If the Cricket Club is open we'll take elevenses on its spectator benches, before following the Dearne Way to the hamlet of Edderthorpe. A good path west leads us into Horse Carr Wood, passing one of the Dearne Valley's few trig points at 335 ft. en route. Good views of Barnsley appear in the distance, with tantalising glimpses of the Town Hall as well as the hallowed ground of Barnsley F.C. for John W. to admire, before we turn south into Ardsley.
A trail south leads us directly onto the Dove Valley Trail and TPT, for a leisurely return to Old Moor.
Dogs welcome, but must be on a short, fixed lead.
Old Moor Car park accessed off Manvers Way - free parking with access to toilets on site.
