wonderful open country scenery. A long but flat, largely traffic-free walk following the Trans Pennine Trail and long stretches of canal-side towpath through pleasant open countryside, alongside rivers and canals. Generally safe and easy underfoot; some lanes without footpath and areas prone to winter flooding near the Rivers Went and Don. Follows the Trans Pennine Trail and canal towpaths. Passes the site of a medieval hunting lodge with a surviving moat near the M62. Thorne Park has a miniature railway. The route passes through the garden of the New Inn at Stainforth.
Lunch: Pubs for refreshment at Sykehouse, Braithwaite (summer only) and Stainforth along the way.
Warnings: Several lanes (around the M62 crossing and canal bridges) have no pavement, so take care. The areas by the River Went and River Don are prone to flooding in winter and can become impassable after heavy rain.
