Good view from High Eggborough. A pleasant countryside walk with a good mix of scenery, including canal-side and riverside stretches along the River Aire, quiet country lanes, tracks and footpaths and a flood-bank path. Mostly easy going with a far-reaching view from High Eggborough. Canal section is part of the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation; Whitley Lock is an interesting spot.

Warnings: Crossing the very busy A19 trunk road requires extreme caution. A misleading large NO ENTRY sign (with an easily missed footpath sign alongside) can confuse, and a bridge over a dyke needs attention. Whitley Bridge and Snaith each have only around three trains a day.
