South Yorkshire Way - Boundary Route

Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, S Yorkshire, W Yorkshire

274 km / 170 miles
Two new long distance trails have been created in South Yorkshire making up the South Yorkshire Way. One covers 171 miles around the boundary and the other 98 miles through the centre, with fine countryside, towns and history. The two routes meet near Thorne North Railway Station at the east side, and near Dore & Totley Railway Station at the west side. There are (2015) plans for an e-book guide for Kindle and iPad which will contain a more detailed route guide and to waymark the route..

The Boundary Route is 170 miles of paths, tracks and minor roads around the edge of the county, taking in parts of the Peak District in the west and the Humberhead Levels in the east and passing through very varied countryside and fascinating villages. No route description is available for the route but a GPX file is available from the website below and also for LDWA members from the file link below.

MARCH 2023:It has been reported that the gated entry point to Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) off Huddersfield Road (SE 295123), at the eastern end Bretton Country Park, is now locked, with walkers asked to pay the ticket price of 9 pounds (6 pounds concessions, free for under-25s and pass holders) to make use of the previously permissive paths through the Park. The YSP website ysp.org.uk/visit-us/faqs says:
"Can I use the public rights of way to walk through YSP? You are free to walk along the public bridleway between West Bretton and High Hoyland. Exiting this path and entering YSP Grounds will require an admissions ticket. Ticket checks take place across the Parkland, including at Cascade Bridge where the bridleway passes through YSP."
Our GPX and other formats track file for this LDP have been changed to make use of only the two Right of Ways (the Public Bridleway, and the Footpath from Haigh to Litherop Road) through the Park. (Should YSP change their policy the original route may be reinstated.)
