Easy rolling lane in both directions.

June 2025 - they've covered the road with chip and seal which is very loose and has formed mounds in places. It's not too bad going up but wouldn't recommend a descent.

The place name Firbeck is thought to derive from a wood streamlet, or beck of the Frith.

The first reference dates from 1482, when it was one of a number of churches placed under the ecclesiastical authority of York by Archbishop Thomas Rotherham. At this time the church was dedicated to St Peter but the dedication was changed much later in history, possibly to distinguish it from the nearby church of St Peter at Letwell. The old church was demolished in 1820, and rebuilt by the Galley-Knight family, who owned the Firbeck Estate from the late 18th century to the mid 19th century. Further work took place in 1844, when a north aisle was added to house the organ and the vestry. Finally, in 1900, a new tower was built to replace the one built in 1820. The church has several fine stained glass windows and interesting hatchments and monuments, including some to the St Leger family. Anthony St Leger was the founder of the famous race in 1776 and the original racecourse was in an oval field above the village near the St Leger’s home, Park Hill Hall.

Great station and starting point to many routes

King’s Wood Lane is a peaceful, open road that forms part of the Rotherham Local Cycle Network, connecting King’s Wood with Laughton-en-le-Morthen. Be sure to stop by the café at Leger Lakes, just before reaching Laughton-en-le-Morthen.

Friendly and great cakes and coffee
