Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

10 Sep 2022 (edited 02 Nov 2023)Second part of a four route walk from Chapeltown to Royston via Hoyland, Worsbrough and Barnsley, so walked from Hoyland to Worsbrough.
I echo Dan's comments about the bridlepath between the old railway tracks at Blacker Hill and Worsbrough - it lacks signs and stiles and there are no traces of it on the ground. The whole area is criss-crossed by rough tracks, many of them muddy and deeply rutted. I tried to stay close to the original line, but eventually gave up, and would not recommend the route I chose. I hope my new route WORROY 2 resolves the problem - it starts on the good path shown on photo 2 and ends on an old lane, so I am pretty confident it is better. Photo 3 shows where the bridlepath should have left this path.
There are a few stiles on the route between the A6195 bridge and Blacker Hill. Coming down from Blacker Hill the path passes through an industrial site where the way forward is not clearly marked - you turn left and find a small path at the bottom end of the yard. From the river Dove onwards the rest of the road up the hill into Worsbrough is easy, though the right of way left of the road is nearer than the OS map suggests (i.e. you use the "path" not the green right of way on the OS Explorer map).

17 Apr 2022 (edited 19 Aug 2022)This could be a good Slow Way, but the route follows public rights of way that are overgrown and not accessible. This is the case from where the path crosses the small footbridge at Blacker Dike (SE 36419 03213) and through virtually all the woodlands. Much of the woods are (or have been) used for motorsports.
There are many other possible route options. Someone local should be able to make a good suggestion.

31 May 2021Really lovely walk and most of it is on footpaths away from roads which is great. I took my Dad and he enjoyed taking photos of the flowers and the trees.
