In 1838, the Huskar pit flooded and 26 children tragically lost their lives. This walk visits the site of the mine, the memorial at Silkstone Church and some of Silkstone Parish’s industrial heritage. This walk is around 3.5km or just over 2 miles. Allow a good hour one way. The return is possible on foot or by bus between Silkstone Common and Silkstone Church.

A pleasant walk through the Silkstone countryside leading past the remnants of mine railway lines and long abandoned mine workings before rising to Banks Hall and some lovely views. After this, Banks Bottom Dike, some wild flower meadows and views of Noblethorpe Hall.

An interesting walk that combines historical interest and the lovely parish countryside. The path takes in the stocks, the Silkstone Waggonway and other points of local history in one direction to just past Low Mill Farm and a pretty path that takes in woodland and hedgerow in the other. This walk is 4 km or 2.5 miles and takes about 1.25 hours.. This walk is less affected by mud after prolonged wet weather but in really bad weather a return back up the Waggonway is possible.

Once Silkstone Common is left behind, this walk is in countryside and takes in some of the less used footpaths. Keep an eye out for wildlife – besides the large numbers of partridges and pheasants there are lots of other creatures who live in this area. This walk is 6.15km or 3.75 miles and takes 2 hours. After wet weather walking boots are a good idea.
