Overview

Two nature reserves, plenty of wooded areas, some short pavement sections, old railway tracks, finishing on the TPT by the disused Barnsley canal. Watch out for fabulous fungi and lovely lichens. Good tracks and paths, may be some muddy/wet bits.  No stiles.  A number of minor, but busy roads to cross. Lunch at Anglers Country Park visitor centre – refreshments and toilets.  Well behaved dogs on a short lead at all times during the walk are welcome (along with their well behaved owners)
