Slow Ways linking Langold and Bircotes, Dinnington (Rotherham), Retford, Tickhill, Worksop
England / Nottinghamshire / Langold
Langold’s five Slow Ways are 65% checked
Help connect Langold
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Langold’s Slow Ways.

Unless you are intending to use any of the shops on the east side of the road, you can cross Doncaster Road on a zebra crossing from the Langold meeting point (which lacks seats unless you count the ones belonging to the Legion club. We head south down Doncaster Road into a wooded area. We use the vehicle entrance to the country park to return to Doncaster Road, and take the farm lane opposite. The GPX plotting of the next path is good - if there was ever a path to the south of the ditch where the right of way line is, there are no signs of it now! Beyond the crossing we go a few metres down the road opposite to find the entrance to Green Mile Lane, here just a narrowish path between nettles, brambles and other undergrowth....
Hugh Hudson
Pavements take us to the junction with Gateford Road, where there are pelican crossings to take us safely across. We cross and continue up Gateford Road. Raymoth Lane has more pelican crossings, and we soon leave the main road right....
Hugh Hudson
I agree with Stephen that this route is unexciting and that the road section between Oldcotes and Styrrup requires care, but there are no footpaths that could offer anything better or avoid the problem section....
Hugh Hudson
This is almost a good route, but the GPX plotting is very lazy and in at least two places makes the route selection on the ground ambiguous....
Hugh Hudson
Leaving the hub along Scrooby Road we pass into Harworth - a more traditional settlement....
StephenWalker
At the T junction we turn left towards Bilby and at the top of the hill turn right on a gravelled lane. At the entrance to Hodsock Priory we turn off and follow first the tarmac drive and then as we approach the gatehouse take a green lane to the right. Cross the road and car park to reach the cafe, then follow the path to the right towards Langold centre....

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....
StephenWalker
The 'countryside' section leaving Gateford is along the edge of a large building site....
StephenWalker
The route is well signposted and the roads that need to be crossed have good visibility so can be crossed easily....
Lisa Cook
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....
Dave Holland
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....
Alison C
A pleasant walk through woods, fields, a pretty village and open countryside on reasonable footpaths. Some footpaths get muddy after rain...
Mrs Christine Parrott
The walk passes through a lovely country park near Langold. Some parts get muddy in wet weather....
