Walk description
Leaving the Cherry Tree Inn we head along past Hollin House Farm to Deffer Wood. Emerging from the wood we enter rolling countryside to reach the midway point at Cannon Hall Country Park for our lunch stop. Here we have splendid views of the Park and beyond. After lunch we cross Cascade Bridge and see large numbers of water fowl.
Continuing beside Cawthorne cricket pitch we follow the stream and go uphill along the Barnsley boundary passing through Hood Wood and Margery Wood, which combine a mixture of broadleaf and conifer trees, to return to the village of High Hoyland.
