lucky me it was open and cost 3 pound to go in..great views at the top

Park free in the RSPB Carpark

Nice signage for the railway here

Lots of historic noticeboards explaining the background to this former rail line and the local Stairfoot station

Great views and an amazing folly on the Wentworth Estate

Wide gravel section of the Trans Pennine Trail and a great car free way in or out of Barnsely. Includes Stairfoot Station Heritage Park which is a fun stop off on the way.

First words? "wow". This thing makes you feel tiny! It's like a little reward for people who appreciate these small things!

Cyclable route across the viaduct for great views!

Mm

It's a great view and well worth stopping for a look over the edge. It's quite a long way down though!

I approached this from the woods east of the tower, it was abit of a hike a bike but it was very fun. We then got a nice decent off the hill. If you fancy a lil adventure I would try this.

TPT route from Mexborough pastures, or from Sprotbrough. great views especially now with the autumn colours

You don't have to carry bike over the water the water gor the first one you can come off earlier through where a fence is brocken and follow the worn track around and down a hill and it brings you out at the other side of the first kissing gate if you follow the road at the second kissing gate and up a path on the right it will bring you out on to field which you can follow along the side of which in turn bring you to the quarry top but it is worth the rock climb to continue the don gorge track.

Stairfoot Station Heritage Park group has been formed to commemorate and celebrate the rich Industrial Heritage and Culture of the Stairfoot basin. This area in the last century was an important centre of industry and commerce comprising of…. Linen Industries, Railways, Mining, Glass Industry Canals, Brickyards, Tar Distilleries The station, which was sited in the Stairfoot area of the Trans Pennine Trail, was a major distribution hub of communication for the transport of the many commodities produced from within the area.

he magnificent Conisbrough viaduct is impossible to overlook with its 21 arches, 150 foot lattice iron girder span over the river, and 1,527 feet in length. Opened in 1909, it was part of a connection between the Hull & Barnsley Railway and those of the Great Northern and Great Eastern. It consists of more than 15 million bricks, and features some beautiful decorative brickwork. It is so vast that an aerial ropeway was built to carry men and materials across the valley during its construction

Plenty of trails around this viaduct, i really recommend the don gorge!

Section of the TransPennine Trail on the old railway line viaduct over the river Don. Great views across to Conisbrough Castle. Don’t look over the edge if you’re scared of heights though - it’s a long way down!

You'll have to leave your bike at the gate (or hoik it over) to take a closer look at Hoober Stand, but it's such a strange building that it's worth the effort. The tower stands 30-metres-high on a ridge in hoober, close to the estate of Wentworth. The folly was commissioned by the Whig aristocrat Thomas Watson-Wentworth, Earl of Malton (later the 1st Marquess of Rockingham) and designed by Henry Flitcroft to commemorate the quashing of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion. There's a nice plaque above the door explaining it's origins.

Ok so on the other side of the don, is a lovely cycle way with beautiful paths and gravel. so if you want a leisurely ride take that. This is also technically a walking route.... there are 2 gates that you cant get your bike through, first time you can go near the water and carry your bike round, and the second time you have to carry your bike up a huge pile of boulders and then down again. Buuuuuuuut this was alot of fun, there are some down hill MTB trails, fallen bridges and other ruins. getting out at the otherside was a PAIN, the paths werent where komoot said they where. All in all, would do again.

Enjoy the view, curse the headwind
