Walk description

Starting off from Silkstone Common train station we pass through a wooded area called Silkstone Fall and cross the A628 road. We then continue along the boundary of Silkstone Common golf club and into Hugset Wood. After emerging from Hugset wood we continue along the public footpath past the golf clubhouse. We return over the A628 again returning via the war memorial where there are seats for us to have lunch. We continue through Silkstone Fall to return to Silkstone Common and the start point.

This is an easy / moderate walk with no strenuous hills and only 4 stiles (none are difficult). On the way round we get good views of Silkstone and the surrounding countryside. We are on good paths throughout but please wear appropriate footwear as you would for any other walk.

This is 6.5 miles and will take 2.5 hours including lunch.
