Walk description
The walk sets off in a westerly direction from the car park along the TPT / Upper Don Valley Trail through Huthwaite Tunnel, turning left at Black Moor, then left again around the farm to descend down to the first crossing of the River Don on large stepping stones.
We cross the River Don again via a footbridge before heading up towards Green Moor, then steeply down hill through Trunce Farm and Spooky Woods. We then proceed back along Old Mill Lane crossing Forge Lane to follow the path alongside the river around Forge Mill Ponds to finally return across fields to the car park.
Please note: The section through the woods involves a tricky fairly steep downhill descent on a narrow path over rocks and exposed tree roots, before re-crossing the Don on the second set of stepping stones.
A pleasant walk of riverside paths, woodland, open countryside and country lanes with a little bit of a challenge thrown in.
The walk is approximately 5.5 miles long and should take around 2.5 hours, including a stop for lunch.
