The river Dearne foot bridge is in a dangerous condition.

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).

Stop and enjoy the views

Between two farmers' fields is a corridor of woodland wilderness filled with the scent of wild garlic in the spring. In it is a path that leads from the road toward Barnburgh, but if you look to your right at the stone crags, every so often, hidden among the foliage is faces peering out, carved into the rock face. There are also symbols that look alien in origin, or resemble insects.

Angry men or staring gargoyles? you decide.
