Report

I walked this route from Langold to Dinnington in March. As someone else noted, after heavy rain sections are a 'mudfest' - particularly through Dyscarr wood and up to Langold farm, and the section west of Letwell. The road to the edge of Dinnington across farmland is fast and open. There is a verge, but it should be walked with care.

Report

I walked this route from Langold to Dinnington today. Took me about 1 hour 45 minutes.
Although easy terrain at present, i would imagine that parts of the footpath between Langold and Letwell could be quite muddy in the winter, and walking the stretch across open fields is fairly windswept.
Also, although there are plenty of Footpath and Bridlepath signs, none of them indicate where they are going to, and so unless you have a map or know the area you wouldn`t know how to get to Dinnington.
I would also not encourage anyone to walk the stretch near to Langold at night, as it passes through a wooded area with a number of trees currently down.
The minor road going into Dinnington has no footpath and, although largely quiet, passing cars tend to go very fast.

Report

A short route connecting Langold country park with the town of Dinnington which has bus connections to Sheffield and elsewhere. I have done this route on foot and mountain bike. I feel relatively safe apart from probably the woods at dark as a lone female.

Report

A pleasant walk through woods, fields, a pretty village and open countryside on reasonable footpaths. Some footpaths get muddy after rain.
