Overview

Please book by text or phone, not email.

An easy walk from Sykehouse through farmland and along a stretch of the River Don and the Knottingley & Goole canal.   Closed and impassable footpaths on the original route means that there are several stretches of walking along quiet roads on the diversion.  4 stiles and 9 step-through gates on the return leg. The George pub will be open at the end of the walk should you fancy refreshments/food, no other toilets en route.
