Overview

From Shireoaks Marina we follow the Chesterfield Canal to Thorpe Bridge. From here we head to South Anston, then follow Anston Brook to Anston Stones Wood. From here we walk alongside the busy A57

for a short distance. We then follow tracks towards Lindrick Common and cross a section of a Golf Course. We stop for lunch at Moses Seat then head towards Brancliffe Grange Farm and follow the

Canal back to the Marina
