We are the Doncaster Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting from Markham Grange Nurseries, it will be approx. 11miles (probably a bit less) and we will visit Pickburn, Hampole and Skellbrooke. There are no toilets en route or pub stop/café stop at lunchtime, but there is a café and toilets at the start The café opens at 9am, as does the garden centre. It is a pleasant walk with scenic views of Doncaster and the surrounding countryside in an area that we don’t walk very often. There are no great hills to talk of, just pleasant rolling countryside.
If we could park away from the main entrance into the garden centre, it would be very much appreciated, as would if some of us purchased eats & drinks from the café before setting off.
Markham Grange Nurseries, Long Lands Lane, Woodlands. One suggested route to get there is as follows:- Take the A638 York Rd/Great North Road out of Doncaster into Woodlands. Take the first turn on the left after passing through the traffic lights into Ridge Balk Lane/ Long Lands Lane. There is a brown sign for Markham Grange at the junction. Go past the new housing development and Markham Grange is on the left just before crossing the A1.
