From Tip to Tail – the next phase of the Upper Don Trail
Explore the next planned route of the Upper Don Trail and the Trans Pennine Trail on a journey of contrasts.
The walk will pass through the forgotten industrial moonscapes of Deepcar Brickworks, More Hall Tips and Wraggs Quarry, but also take in the spectacular valley landscape, unspoilt river banks, the beautiful Wharncliffe woods and learn about dragons, mines, orchids and the birthplace of English climbing.
This walk is part of Sheffield Walking Festival and Heritage Open Days 2024.
