Pot House Hamlet to Cawthorne Circular - Pre-Booking With Leader Is Essential

A very pleasant walk in the South Yorkshire countryside heads north east towards Cawthorne via Silkstone Beck, Furnace Bridge and lastly Barnby Furnace with its rich 18th century history of local coal mining and iron works owned by the Spencer family of Cannon Hall. Eventually we emerge at Cinder Hill Bridge after passing Barnby Hall on our left, before winding our way through the footpaths and quiet streets of Cawthorne where a small village green and bench give us a convenient stop for refreshment. Crossing the A635 to join the footpath to Banks Hall, leads us south east across the footbridge at Banks Bottom Dike for our return to Pot House Hamlet, where refreshment and sustenance is available in the Potting Shed Cafe on site.
