Places remaining: 5
Route Description
The Group walk takes us to the former site of Tinsley Park Colliery. The area is cared for by the Woodland Trust and is a mixture of woodland and gravel paths. The views of Sheffield and the surrounding areas are amazing on a clear day.
Meeting at Winter Green Pub , Mitchell Way, Catcliffe, Rotherham S60 8AR 10am for 10.15 am start.
From our meeting point the route takes us up Whittle Way to join the tree lined path at the side of Sheffield Parkway. Care needs to be taken as we cross Highfield Spring Road and both slip roads of the Parkway. After a short pavement walk we will follow the gravel path running at the side of the golf course to start our gradual ascent of 70 Acre Hill. The route then follows a series of loops before we join the path into Tinsley Park Wood ,as it crosses the course fairway be aware of golfers teeing off. The usual hazards apply in the wood low hanging branches and trees roots. We will make our return to the Winter Green via the same route used on the outset.
Other Information
We have been given permission to use the car park at the Winter Green as long as we have a drink there afterwards. Dogs are very welcome on the walk and in the pub garden.
