It's been a bit cooler today and so I thought I'd get out for a walk, only a local walk though because I've got a couple of busy days ahead of me and the weather's forecast to get hotter again.
I went to take a photograph of what I've recently seen a couple of people on YouTube claim is the best view in Doncaster...I'd agree with them if it's limited to long distance views. I'd say there are better close up views in the local pretty villages though.
I caught the Sheffield bus to Conisbrough Hill Top and immediately headed south to the ruins of Conisbrough Lodge where there's a path marked on the Ordnance Survey map going straight across the fields to Clifton; it's not shown as a definitive right of way though. When I got there there was no sign of this path and so I had to take the official route using public footpaths, which is nearly a mile longer.
The 'best view in Doncaster' is located near to the summit of Beacon Hill at Clifton, looking to the west...and here it is! It's not looking its best though, it was a cloudy and hazy; on a clear day you can see right over to the Pennines, but not today though.
I continued on to Old Edlington and then down to Edlington to catch the bus back to the town centre.
