beautiful varied route. we'll signed. Public transport links to start and finish. hardest part was the stiles with a dog. not easy. Well worth it though

A couple sections of this route are great to walk. Anglers to Notton and the canal walk from Stanley to Castleford were the standouts. Other sections aren’t very exciting and a fair few of the footpaths are totally overgrown. Route is reasonably well signposted but you’ll need to head off the route at various sections due to accessibility. You also need to pay £9.50 if you’re wanting to pass through Yorkshire Sculpture Park which is disappointing. I’d realistically give this a 2.5 star but I have given a 3 as I’m from the area so some places hold sentimental value.
