Overview

Join the volunteer walk leaders for a walk and talk around the green spaces and trails of Penistone. Starting and finishing at Penistone Leisure Centre, there are various routes to choose from depending on the weather and ability of the group. Dogs on a lead are welcome to all walks.

The first route takes you through Watermeadows Park which is mainly flat and paved. One road requires crossing but there is a pelican crossing to use. The bridge into the park can be slippery when wet, but the route doesn't get muddy. The walk is wheelchair and pram-friendly.

The second route is 3km long. It is mostly on footpaths with a little bit of woodland at the start. There is an elevation gain of 60m with a slow incline partway through and then a gradual slope back down again.
