South Elmsall Station to Moorthorpe Station
A very short and simple but entirely pavement walk along a busy road, with several pelican and zebra crossings to help. Best to cross to the south pavement and which has fewer side roads. There are no better options as there are no other places to cross the railway. Passes Moorthorpe station, so the walk can be split.
Easy: 1km, moderate ascents.

Thurnscoe Station to South Elmsall Station
A route that improves as it goes on: the first part of the footpath beyond the railway bridge north of Thurnscoe is very wet and muddy, but everything beyond Churchfield Road is excellent. Field edges, surfaced tracks and lanes and with a short unsurfaced descent that is a little steep in places. No steps or stiles.
Easy: 6km, moderate ascents.
The early section beyond the railway bridge is very wet and muddy.
