THORNE MOORENDS TOWN COUNCIL

WALKS

Picture
The Peatlands Way is a 50 mile circular footpath route designed to traverse the raised peatlands of the Thorne, Crowle and Hatfield moors.

The walk includes the first permissive paths across the famous Thorne and Hatfield Moors, wildlife sites of national and European importance.

The Thorne Round Walk is based on the course of the River Don, its associated waterways and immediately surrounding countryside.

As its name suggests, the `round walk' may be taken clockwise or anti-clockwise, with various starting points, but the most popular one is The Delves. The walk is approximately 18.5 km (11.5 miles), which may be shortened to about 13 km (8 miles) by using the short-cut across the River Don.

The mixture of habitats found along the way contributes to an interesting walk and the various species of wildlife which live here add to the experience.

The walk is waymarked with the logo shown above to keep you on the right track.

The Thorne Town Trail is 2½ miles long and can be walked in an hour. At four points along it there are seats and grassed areas, lakes in the Park and the Delves, and a picnic area in the Toll Bar Grounds.

The canal towpath is apt to be muddy after rain, but it can be avoided by using Plantation Road and Union Road.

The grade of features listed as of Architectural or Historical Importance is shown in brackets - (I), (II), in the leaflet obtained from the council offices. 

The trail starts near the Parish Church.

Before the surrounding marshland was drained in the 17th century, the only really dry ground in this area was the low ridge of sand on which you are now standing. The path along it was called High Trod.
