Hickleton To Conisbrough

 

A local walk today since the weather forecast for the Peak District deterriorated somewhat yesterday. I caught the Barnsley bus to Hickleton. 







I wasn't able to take many photos of the church because there were workmen there putting up scaffolding.




You can't get up close to the hall, this shot was taken from the road.




I walked down the road to Barnburgh until I reached the footpath that goes along the base of the crags.




I'm certain there are a few more stone carvings, but these two were the only ones I could see from the path.






I than briefly walked along the next road and found the path going down to the Crown Inn on the edge of Harlington.

Next I passed through Barnburgh Grange and came out at the bottom end of High Melton. It was a short walk to the TransPennine Trail which goes alongside the River Dearne here. After about a  mile and a half I arrived at Conisbrough Railway Station, as I approached though I saw the Doncaster train leaving from the platform and so I continued, going up to the town, the climb being quite steep in places, to catch the bus.
