July 18, 2024,Wombwell - Martinswell Lake Via Conisbrough Viaduct

Incredibly simple and reasonably flat route from Barnsley, Elsecar You can head off to Sprotbrough or Conisbrough Castle along the way.
Very versatile route for options. Limited public facilities apart from Conisbrough Castle toilets and cafe.

Recommend.
