Walk description
Starting at Ecclesfield Park, we cross over the Common and go along Butterwaite Lane. We pick up a footpath (which is narrow and a little overgrown in places), that takes us to Grange Lane. When we reach Grange Lane, we walk up it to reach the driveway to Thundercliffe Grange. Walking down the drive we take a footpath that leads us into Barber Wood. We exit the wood at the district of Rotherham called Blackburn. Walking through Blackburn and under the M1 we pick up the Trans Pennine Trail exiting it at Station Road to return back to Ecclesfield Park and the cars.
The paths are good throughout the walk.
