17 Aug 2023A mix of urban, open space and field paths some rather tightly enclosed. Shops and buses at Hemingfield about half way.
I started from Wombwell with a stretch of pavement walking which leads to but then avoids Wombwell Park using instead an enclosed but decent path alongside the golf course.
A zig-zag leads to a bridge under what sounded like a busy dual carriageway and we are soon into Hemingfield where there were a few shops and a cafe.
The next paths had recently had vegetation cut back but I wondered whether it would have been better to offer a link onto estate roads rather than the long enclosed path around the development perimeter.
Escaping into wider spaces the route heads off along a track and under the railway viaduct then along Vizard Road a surface of concrete slabs that reminded me of wartime airfields. Jump Valley is a popular local recreation destination, as such there are many paths so the plot which follows the definitive line will not assist you. A well walked path climbs the hill until a school fence appears on the left, follow this to the road.
The final approach to Hoyland is easy along a road and the meeting place offers seats and all services.
