Walk description
This walk starts at The Ivanhoe, Sprotbrough. We walk down through the village to follow the embankment along the curving River Don for about 2.5 miles. We cross over a railway bridge (steep steps) to follow the Trans Pennine link trail for more flat walking, before turning east towards the lovely grounds of Cusworth Hall with its lake and shrubbery. We will have lunch here with views towards Doncaster.
After lunch we will meander through the Shrubbery to the lakeside path and walk back though arable fields under the A1(M) towards Sprotbrough. Hopefully, there will be some birdlife (geese/ducks) to view in the meadows beside the D
