Start Time | 9:50 am - TRAIN RIDE |
Walk Name | Darton to Dodworth via Cannon Hall |
Description | Trains, walks, sights - proper day out. About 4hr walking in pastoral Barnsley and a couple of hours at the Hall (a fine museum (history, old stuff and fine ceramics and glassware), farm of TV fame, walled and formal gardens, landscaped grounds, cafes and cakes, its all free except the farm which has an entrance fee) We start by catching the 10.02 am train to Leeds and get out at Darton at 10.35. Then we cross the Dearne and walk up through Kexborough to proceed over some farmland before we gently climb up to Cannon Hall. I guess we’ll get there by 12.30ish and take a break (and we can negotiate how long for). Then refreshed, entertained, and edified we’ll set off (no later than 2pm) through ascending undulating farmland to Silkstone and continue to Dodworth to catch the train back (I guess the 16.52) to Sheffield |
