Overview

We will walk from the Wintersett Country Park Visitor Centre around the reservoir/lake and follow a field path around what was the Walton Estate to Walton Village where we will stop for a picnic lunch. We will return following the now redundant Barnsley to Wakefield Canal around Haw Park Wood and back to the Visitor Centre where there are toilets and a cafe.
