No access to walkers or cyclists signs. We had already committed so kept walking but you can get round it via the river and another public footpath.

Barmby Barrage was constructed in 1975 to stop the saline and sediment rich waters of the River Ouse from contaminating the clear and fresh waters of the River Derwent. It's a picturesque spot to stop for a snack in its picnic area.
