We are the Dearne Valley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Venture up to the West Riding for a lovely 5 mile circular walk around the lakes of St Aidan's RSPB nature reserve, returning via the canal towpath. Very easy, leisurely pace, no stiles, flat, and good paths and tracks throughout.
We will stop for coffee/cake/icecream at the excellent Green House coffee shop (outdoor seating only) towards the end of the walk. Toilets available half way at the RSPB visitor centre. Bring binoculars. St Aidan's is home to many resident and migratory birds including several rare species.
Dogs are very welcome but MUST be on short fixed leads please to protect both birds and wildlife on the reserve.
Meet at 10.30am in the free car park at the bottom of FLeet Lane, Woodlesford, opposite the derelict fuel depot. NOTE the nearest postcode is for Lemonroyd Marina - do not turn off the road at the marina, keep going on Fleet Lane, over the canal bridge and the car park is about 200yds further along on the right.
