Overview

An undemanding walk on generally good paths and tracks, taking in some of the region’s industrial past. From Elsecar Heritage Centre we climb steadily to Hoober Stand via Wentworth village, before dropping down to Wath for our lunch (pub) stop. After lunch we walk through Manvers Regeneration Park and join the TPT back to Elsecar.
