Walk description
We leave the Elsecar Heritage Centre to follow the canal to Old Moor Nature Reserve, where we will take our lunch stop. We then retrace our steps to return to Elsecar Heritage Centre. This is a linear walk, but it’s full of wildlife sights and sounds with some pleasant wild flowering plants down the canal to see too. It’s a nice enjoyable stroll taking in the Nature around us.
