Overview

An 11.3 mile figure of 8 walk starting at Wentworth Garden Centre. We walk through field to Scholes then to Kepple's Column. It's then through woods and fields to the bridge at Dog kennel Pond. Uphill brings us to the Deer Park  and the Big House and then into Wentworth village for our lunch break. After lunch we take National Cycle Route 67 to Harley then a short distance along the A6135 brings us to the Trans Pennine Trail and the Barnsley Boundary Walk which we follow to Elsecar Nature Reserve. It's then uphill back to our start point via Kings Wood and Clay Field.
