The footbridge here is a handy connection utility for hikers, bikers and runners. The footpaths are of good quality too and you are surrounded by the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.

The River Dearne foot bridge is in a dangerous condition! It looks like it has been subject to some kind of fire, and there are large holes in the foot boards. It seems to have been closed off by the authorities, however someone has pulled the barrier's open and people are using the bridge(cross at your own risk).
