I prefered this route to SelSna One as it avoided a busy road.This route follows the path across Burn Airfield with interesting information boards and posts.There is also a chance to see gliders landing and taking off,weather permitting.This is a very flat and safe route and would certainly recommend it....

On 4th July I walked the newly created diversion section which uses a section of The Trans Pennine Trail over Burn Airfield....

After which it is open countryside, lanes a tracks, with just a short stretch of roadside walking(no pavement) on s straight section of Hirst Road....

ANDREW WAINWRIGHT

Started on this walk from Snaith Station via West Cowick then on to Pollington.Then over the Aire and Calder canal towards Sykehouse,crossing over the River Went into South Yorkshire.The river was very high and sometimes this route is impassable after very heavy rain. Onwards to the village hall for a well deserved break! Short walk then to The canal bank with a long straight towards Braithwaite where we crossed over on to a short road towards the river Don,take the second public footpath sign in between the river and the canal.Follow this path all the way to Stainforth Bridge where we crossed over to the other bank.Carried on passed the pub beer garden( on a sunny day good spot for quick pint) Then we followed the canal all the way into Thorne where there are plenty of places to eat.All in all a very enjoyable ,flat walk along side rivers and canals....

Dave

Turn left onto Selby Road towards the level crossing and then right on George Street. Turn right and follow the footpath downstream along the River Aire On the opposite side of the river you will see the tower which is part of the Carlton Towers property, home of Lord and Lady Fitzalan Howard. Turn right and follow the river towards Airmyn. As you approach Airmyn you need to leave the river bank and turn right into the Crossings, then follow the footpath through to Airmyn Road....

ANDREW WAINWRIGHT

It was pleasant to see a mixed used of the landscape and great to see working farms in operation....

Steve Brewis

Refreshments are available in RAWCLIFFE (Fish&Chip shop,Tea Room and pub as well as a food store) After leaving the river bank at Airmyn, the footpaths are easy to negotiate (tarmac surface/pavements) The walk passes West Park Goole, where there is a very good cafe I would certainly walk this route again...

Brian Naylor

Then a long straight stretch on a very pleasant canal side path to Braithwaite where there is another opportunity for refreshments....

Keith Greenwood

The route was enjoyable and overall easy to navigate, except for a misleading large NO ENTRY sign ( with a small footpath sign alongside that is easy to miss). There is also a bridge over a dyke that needs attention. An interesting area on the walk was the canal side at Whitley Lock....

Anne Holman

A short walk alongside the canal was good. I would be happy to walk it again and I am happy to suggest it to other people....

Brian Naylor

The road walking after leaving the river was quite good, very little traffic....

Philip Le Marquand

This walk uses quite a lot of minor roads(without pavements) but they are not busy roads and I felt safe walking on them. The walk crosses the River Went which is pleasant and there is another pleasant section alongside a canal....

Keith Greenwood

Unfortunately this route has to use a fairly long stretch of roadside walking (no pavement). which can be difficult due to HGVs that use the narrow road. There are also sections which appear to deviate from the most direct route, simply because they are not recorded....

Keith Greenwood

The route then uses the river bank of River Don, which is a public footpath but on the date of review , it was very long grass and very difficult to negotiate....

Keith Greenwood

A pleasant walk through the countryside with canal side and river side stretches to enjoy....

Keith Greenwood

This is a very unsuitable route from Askern to Snaith, Once the route leaves the road near Askern, the footpaths between there and Fenwick are very poorly maintained....

Keith Greenwood

Evidence of cows on river bank,including warning signs, but did not see any cows today. River flood bank good walking surface....
