A local walk in the Dearne Valley area today, just a few miles to the west of Doncaster. I caught the Barnsley bus to Hickleton, and after exploring the village, walked down the road towards Barnburgh. It's a sunken lane with no verges and so I made sure I was wearing my hi-vis vest.
Hickleton is a lovely village, but it's spoilt by all the traffic passing through it.
In the lychgate there are these skulls with the message 'Today for me, tomorrow for thee.'
After a few hundred yards I reached a path that goes through a small area of woodland and then continues along the base of Barnburgh Cliff. There are some carvings done into the rockface along here.
I briefly walked along Hangman Stone Road, heading south and then took the bridleway down to the Crown Inn at Harlington. I walked through the village until I reached Mill Lane and continued down to the River Dearne which I was able to cross on a footbridge and walk up to a housing estate at Mexborough. I made my way to the railway station and caught the train back to Doncaster.
