ダルトンでののおすすめツーリングルート

The Church of St Peter is found at the west end of the village of Letwell, near Rotherham, in South Yorkshire. The church was built around 1375 by John Mauleverer, but has been substantially altered several times. Much of the church was later rebuilt in 1820, at the expense of Henry Gally Knight FRS, the owner of Firbeck Hall, but was largely destroyed by fire a few decades later. The tower, along with the vestry are all that remain of the church following a fire which occurred in 1867. The fire was inadvertently started by one Harry Radley, who was sexton at the time. In response to complaints from the parishioners that they were too cold, he had over-stoked the coal-fired boiler which led to the fire. The church today consists of the 14th century tower with a Victorian nave and apse. It is Grade II* listed.

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.

Scenic hard surface trail

Closed on Sunday- Tuesday

When in Firbeck take a wander out onto the Old Airfield, down the left side of the church and follow the path across the field, and read the memorial to the pilots who were trained there during WW2 and the years immediately after. Firbeck is also home to Firbeck Hall, a grand Victorian manor house built in 1594 by William West.

Gets busy at lunchtime, we had a late brekkie stop here at around 10.00 and there was plenty of tables available.

OPEN Weds, Thurs, Fri, Saturday 09.00-16.00. Outdoor or indoor seating. Great food :)

Komoot doesnt show this, but there are an extensive amount of paths in the forrest. Definitely worth a visit.
