X'ROM Heritage Centre we start a climb through woodland and fields to attain a we sée retrospective views to Hoyland and beyond We follow the ridge from where . . - ,Dãorstep Walk' along field-edges of the ridge{op, with further views on both sides which include Wentworth village, with its prominent church spire, and Wentworth Park. We visit the monument, Needle's Eye. Here you can walk through the eye ofthe needle! From Coaley Lane we lollow Street Lane past cottages (Street) before diverting across fields to see the Hoober Stand monument.

The lane.meets the 86090 inthe hamlet of Hoober. Notice Sundial Farm whose sundial dates from 1738! We follow the 'Rotherham Round Walk' through a wood and across fields to Low Stubbin on the 86089 and views increase as we return to the ridge in f,relds on the boundary ofUpper Haugh. The view includes parts ofRotherham and Sheffield and the prominent landmark, Keppel's Column

A cobbled path descends from the ridge along the line of the'Roman Ridge' and fieldpaths fall to the valley, emerging by Mill Dam where we join the Trans-Pennine Trait (T.P.T.). The driveway enters wentwofth deer park and ríses past more follies. wentworth woodhouse suddenly appears, its long façade being the longest ofany English country house! Notice the mauióleum behind us, overlooked by the house. We pass the house, the former teachef-training accommodation, before emerging in wentwortli village.

There are a number ofpossible routes through the village which may include the garden centLe (toilets). the two churches. the windrnill house and the cottages along the main street We leaìe Wentworth ancl the T.P.T. and aim through woodland and fìelds. descending to the Elsecar.

TIIE LAST WALKS

NETHERTON, STO¡{Y CLIFF'E WOOD, BULLCLIFF WOOD' TIIE HORBURY CUT AND NEW SCARSOROUGII (7 miles)

NETHERTON nestles in an ancient landscape with roots stretching back to the earliest days of settlement in prehistoric Britain. In 1963, workmen unearthed an early-Stone Age axe buried deep in gravel near to The star Inn. Ttfoughout the area there are earthworks and burial mounds going back more than 2,000 years to the lron Age. Many of the.medieval estates afound Netherton were owned by Byland Abbey in the middle ofl the I 2* century and the monks farmed, grazed sheep for wool production and mined ironstone from shallow workings known as bell pits. They also set up charcoal-burning fumaces to smelt the ore.

At the start ofthe 16û'century the monks also began coal production, an industry which continued up to recent times. Netherton had its own colliery, Hartley Bank - an area which we would pàss through later - which operated between 1881 and 1968. AII is nowgreen and pleasant. ihe demise of that once-mighty industry has allowed the area to return to the àgriculturat outlook ofthe early l9ú century with a surprising amount of woodland - delightful countryside !

We met in the forecourt ofthe Staf lnn, only 11 ofus on this rather cool, cloudy and breezy morning. There had been much rain ovemight and, although it had become dry, there had previouily been a hint of drizzle in the breeze, and possible showers were forecast for later, all prompting us to don our waterproofs - just in case. Was it really almost June?

We crossed Netherton Lane (86117) and took a signed footpath which passed between propefies, then crossed a street to continue along a grass track opposite. The grass track_ pasied over a brow near to the village halt immediately revealing a panorama ofthe Coxley Valley ahead and the main Catder Valley to our right with Horbury and Ossett rising on its oppoiite slopes. It was a rather cloudy outlook and the breeze blew cool as we descended the slope between frelds, the track aiming lor woodland which f,rlled the valley below

This was Perkin Wood, the northern extension of Stony Cliffe Wood, and having passed through a kissing gate we descended steeply through the trees into the Coxley Valley where we lefì to a pond, turning right at the pond's end to cross a planked bridge over Stony Cliffe Beck. Briõfly entering a field, we crossed a stile to re-enter the wood, but along its boundary fence. The single-file path, squeezed bet\ryeen the trees, bushes and the fence and soon emerged into a field where we followed the meandering field-edge through lush, wet grass on thi edge of Perkin wood. You may have noticed the white flowers of wild garlic (or iamsons) growing in the relative dimness ofthe interior ofthe woocl - or their pervasive smelll Thele were also some thin and laded patches ofbluebells

Leaving the field at stone gateposts, we continued along the edge of Stony Clitfe Wood using a surprisingly dry earth track (alìer all that wet grass!) and eventually artived at a tree- J

embowered sunken track known as Can Lane, an ancient track which descended from Middlestown. We turned down the peaty track and crossed a footbridge over Stony Cliffe Beck after which the track improved and widened and rose beside a metal fence bounding Stony Cliffe Wood on our left. New Hall Wood lay to our right and once screened Denby Grange Pit. A short climb brought us to an access gate in the metal fencing. It wæ our intention to do a circuit within Stony Cliffe Wood Nature Reserve, retuming to Carr Lane at a higher level.

The wood is an excellent example ofacidic oak-birch woodland, typical ofthe Pennine fringes of West Yorkshire and it is likely that the reserve formed a fragment of the 'great forest' which was called 'Stayniclif that, in the early medieval period, extended from Nottingham up to . The 'craters' seen in the woodland today are a result of iron ore and coal extraction using bell pits, the roofs ofwhich eventually collapsed.

In 1979 the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust bought the wood and in 2004 the reserve was extended with the purchase of Coxley Bank Wood or Perkin Wood. Apart from a wide variety of birds there are spectacular displays of wild flowers, especially in the springtime, such as yellow archangel and bluebells. So, passing through the gate we entered the wood, following a well- made path which curved and contoured amongst the trees. Everything was very green, an almost full canopy offoliage above us and long grass and ferns occupying the woodland floor with just an odd spot ofcolour, such as herb robert.

Whilst this was very pleasant and calming, the further we progressed around this circuit it became obvious that the spectacular display ofbluebells we had expected to see had long- gone. The earlier hint of thin and faded blooms had been a definite cluel We were too late to see the bluebells ! Yes, there were one or two other suggestions of them as we retumed along a higher path but little else. What an anti-climaxl

Reaching another gate, we spilled out onto the track (Can Lane) which continued to ascend the woodland slope. A cuckoo called from within the depths of New Hall Wood and we also heard the occasional song ofthe chiff-chaff. Attaining the top boundary ofthe wood we emerged onto the road (which formerly accessed the old coal mine) and accompanied it uphill to meet the B6i 17 (Netherton Lane) at a crossroads - the higher point ofthe walk at 446 ft.

Crossing to a minor lane opposite, we passed Stocksmoor Farm and entered the (level) woodland pafh of Stocksmoor Common, another pleasant interlude, before coming to a stile where we left the wood to make a bee-line down through another field of long grass towards a distant marker-post at a line oflbushes. The grass had been partíally panned down by other walkers but was still very wet. Did anyone have wet feet by this stage?

Tlie line ofbushes hid the course ofBlacker Beck and we crossed it by means ofa rustic br-idge Over the nert field we calne to BullcliffNorth Wood, enterinq the relativel¡, dimmer interior whele we crossed North Wood Beck in au ann of the wood A slanting path took us up to another field where a nore defined path inclined thlough the middle to an upper corner of thc wood where there was yet another stile We had crossed several in the last fer.v mlnutes! 4

It was nearing lunchtime and, because of wet grass and the freshening cold breeze, we had had little opportunity to sit for the break. The most promising place was just ahead - or was it? We crossed the stile to a sheltered enclosed path running along the edge of Bullcliff North Wood, a dilapidated, low stone wall following the woodland boundary and a wire fence bounding a field to our right. The luxuriant vegetation by the wall (including nettles !) was such that it was diffrcult to find an uncluttered area o¡ strip by the wall and in some parts the wall was too dilapidated to be comfortable for sitting I

However, we eventually found a clearer patch with a suitable run of walling fi:rther along. It was sheltered and we had a reasonable lunchtime despite the inclement conditíons, AÊer about half an hour, we continued along the enclosed path beside the wood (there were still bluebells in parts of this wood) and later turned away from BullcliffNorth Wood crossing a clearing between this and Bullcliff Wood along a fenced avenue of trees. We stopped here to admire the long view focussed between the woodland over the Calder valley towards Wakefield. The clouds were starting to part by this time and consequently the scenery was brighter with even a hint of sunshine here and there. A fresh breeze blew in more exposed places.

We then entered BullcliffWood, turning downhill along the edge of the wood by a stone wall. We then passed through a gap in the wall and cut through the trees to emerge on an access road to Bull CliffFarm. A path opposite entered the wood again, winding amongst the trees and breaking out into a grassy 'ride'. The 'ride' descended gradually, sweeping right to arrive at the busy Wakefreld-Denby Dale road (4636) where we walked all fifty yards of the pavement before returning along the lower woodland boundary using a vehicular access track.

Reaching the end ofthe wood (and the track) a footpath continued ahead, crossing the same clearing (now further downhill) between the two woods. We entered BullcliffNorth Wood once again, following a narrow winding path which led to a footbridge that crossed Blacker Beck- We re-crossed the beck and immediately climbed some steps, leaving the wood and entering a field of oil-seed rape. Climbing from the valley, we turned along the field-edge then uphill by the hedgerow battling our way through the encroaching crop and high field- edge vegetation. There were spells ofsunshine and it felt warmer, especially after this activityl

A higher field ofthe same crop proved to be easier as we climbed beside the crop along a wider 'headland', circling around the top boundary ofthe field to cross a stile. We then passed through a relatively easy field ofgrazing cattle to enter Green Lane by Hollinhurst Farm, having completed the climb from the valley. From this ridge-top there were views over Bullcliff North Wood and Bullcliff Wood towards Woolley Edge, Crigglestone and Wakefield

Nobody opted lol the available short-cut return alonrÌ the lane to Nethertonl After a briefrest we turned along the unrnade farm vehicle track, passing the far-mhouse and a variety ofbarns to our left with the extensive views to our right, views which soon became a panorama as the broad track left the farm complex behind. Soon, a fingerpost directed us along a curwing field-edge on the'nose' of the ndge The sun had by now retreated behind gatheling cloud and we were exposed to an increasingly gusty cool wind. The ridge fell towards the Calder Valley and the panoramic view included the hills up-valley (around Halifax), Dewsbury, Horbury, Ossett and Wakefreld.

Down through another field we crossed Blacker Lane and took an opposite track which descended th¡ough part of Hartley Bank Wood - the site of the former coal mine. The wind seemed to gust to a crescendo as we passed tkough these trees, with falling leaves and small branches littering our way ! From the main track a pleasant, nanow path continued the descent along the leeward edge ofthe wood (which fell away from us to our left) and later we were funnelled between a dilapidated stone wall and a hedgerow as the path became more sunken.

We emerged onto a disused railway bridge with metal parapets and just after crossing this (still within the trees) we took a slanting single-file path which anived at the very edge ofthe Calder and Hebble Navigation canal at a section known as the Horbury Cut. The actual towpath was on the opposite side ofthe canal but we followed a footpath, skirting at first the woodland ofHartley Bank, then passing beneath another disused railway bridge (a former 'link line' between the Calderdale and lines) then following a fence-line below sloping fields and between bushes by the reeded edge ofthe lapping water. This short, level interlude wasn't without its interestl

Apart from the ducks on the canal, there were swans (one on a nest in the reeds) and, as the sun briefly made another appearance, a blue Scouts' narrow-boat stowly glided by.

Reaching a bridge that a¡ched across the canal we met Balk Lane - a'sting in the tail' ofthe walk because, from our lowest point on the canal-side (98 ft.), the lane would return us to Blacker Lane in New Scarborough - a climb ofabout 165 ft. We didn'tbalk atthe challengel The sustained plod took us up the valley slope with increasing retrospective views towards Horbury Bridge, Horbury and Ossett and we passed the cricket field and interesting houses ofNew Scarborough before reaching Blacker Lane.

Connecting footpaths then skirted various other properties to frnally emerge in Netherton Lane (86117) just above the school and we retumed to the Star Inn along the lane - much earlier than anticipated about 2.45 pm.

The weather was gradually brightening and it was becoming warmer. We had been cocooned in our waterproofs, although they had served us well in the more exposed places. Indeed, the sun appeared in all its warmth (and generally remained so) as we put away our walking paraphernalia and entered the pub for a well-earned drinkl

ARTI{INGTOI.I, BR,I,}THOPE & BÁNK TÛP (47r miles) ETOND,dY EVENING, I5II'JUNE. 2015

THIRTEEN of us met in the ample car park of The Wharfedale public house in , pleparing to do a walk which oul group had done on two occasions befbre * August 2003 and July 1989 - both being on cloudless, hot evenings. This evening there was light cloud cover- ,7 but it was reasonably warm, still and dry, The birds sang in the trees surrounding the car park and there was an'air' oftranquillity, typical ofthe evening walks - only broken by the noise ofa passing train on the Hanogate-Leeds line nearby!

We started off along the stony lane opposite the inn, once the access to Arthington railway statior¡ and we passed several houses before reaching open fields on our right. The lane was overhung with trees and the Leeds-Hanogate line was perched high upon the embankment to our left. The tane narrowed and curved under a large, brick arch which once carried the Otley line and we entered a large triangle ofland formed by the junction of the tracks within which there were two houses, one a former railway house.

Passing under the other archway we tumed along a gradually rising track bounded by lush vegetation and a line oftrees. We climbed to meet the level of the railway just as a train sped past on its way to cross the Arthington viaduct, Unfortunately, since our last walk, the trees in the railway cutting beyond had grown sufficiently to hide the view towards the portals of the Bramhope tunnel entrance.

The h¡nnel was built between 1845 and 1849 and at the busiest period 2,300 men and 400 horses were quartered around Bramhope. A quarter of a million tons of earth were shifted in its construction and many men were killed as a result olblasting operations and other accidents. The contactor's figure of23 dead was much below the true figure. Upon completion, the authentically reproduced castle towers were erected at each end ofthe tunnel as a Victorian flourish and a replica ofthe tunnel was later erected in Otley churchyard as a memorial to those who died.

The wafk became a steady plod as we climbed away from the railway cutting, continuing up tkough a dip in the steepening field ahead. This was Broom Bank and though it was a relatively short climb it left us gasping a little and in need ofa rest in the top corner ofthe field from where we could also appreciate the long retrospective view across Wharfedale towards Arncliff Crag.

A footpath, between a fence and hedgerow, provided a level interlude amongst lush vegetation, the large houses ofBramhope appearing to our left and we passed through a field grazedby sheep. Entering another field a rising path took us through longer grass (by a tennis court) and we emerged from its upper corner info Staircase Lane. A broader view of Wha¡fedale was visible over the old stone property of Staircase House. Moving up the lane, we continued over the brow ofthe hill by large houses, soon meeting Otley Road (4660) by the ancient Puritan Chapel. A plaque fixed by the entrance gateway informed us that the chapel was built just afr.er 1649 at the time of Oliver Cromwell!

We sauntered along the pavement, which now started gently descending, and passecl the entrance to the Blittania Hotel and, rounding the corner opposite Bramhope Church, we took a footpath which lelì the roadside and plunged into relatively modern housing beside a wooded ravine in the grounds ofthe hotel. Just here, below the high retaining wall ofthr: main road, an old well and pump was exposed in l99l and landscaped in 1994, 7

Most of the ascent behind us, we descended between the fenced ravine and fenced gardens, the intriguing route ofginnels later crossing estate roads, passing along 'private' driveways and becoming restrided between garden boundaries. We passed grand houses and bungalows in their neatly-manicured gardens ahd some ofthe ginnels were darker, overhung by atunnel oftrees and bushes. Intriguing indeed! Eventually the path descended into cool, dark woodland near to the (again unseen) tunnel entrance. The railway was below us. Soon we Ieft the trees, rising by a held which bordered Creskeld Lane. There were views across Wharfedale to AlmscliffCrag, Norwood Edge mast and the Washburn Valley. We continued up Creskeld Lane under an avenue oftrees.

A track left the [ane, leading us along the edge of fields by Wood Top Farm, and we approached Arthington sandstone quarry. Bramhope was by now some distance behind us! A footpath skirted the quarry edge although a mound oftopsoil prevented views into its depths, except at one or two places. The huge rocky crater was paftially filled with graded piles of aggregate. An almost imperceptible ascent amongst trees and bushes (though noticed by Harry !) brought us to Bank Top where we emerged on the lane near to the crossing point of the Ebor Way.

It was definitely all downhill from here!

The lane descended past the quarry entrance after which we turned along a gradually descending track which was narrowed to single-file because of lush vegetation. There was an unintemrpted view across and along the valley, and to the west there was a golden glow in the sky. Through a gate we entered a sloping field (which was being mown by a tractor) and kept to the wall-side as we aimed downhill, into the valley. In the next field we enjoyed a short break. You might have noticed the massive railway viaduct marching boldly across the river meadows?

Continuing our descent through two more fields we passed through a nanow belt oftrees (pat ofHezicar Wood) and turned along the woodland boundary in the next field. Large rhododendron bushes (in full bloom) gave a splash ofcolour to the scene as we headed towards Creskeld Hall and Creskeld Lane.

Aiming tkough a final pasture we met the lane near Creskeld Hall and strode along, passing farm buildings - one sportíng an unusual mosaic sign picturing cows and saying 'Creskeld Herd, British Friesians, Founded 1920'.

We arríved in Arthington Lane where the level footpath took us along the last part ofthe walk, passing under the arch ofthe railway bridge. Did you spot this section of road on the T.V. coverage of the Tour de France and Tour de Yorkshire? Although we had not rushed the wallc, it was surprising to find that we had arrived back at'The Wharlèdale' about 8.55 pm, about % hour earlier than anticipated!

Fifteen ofus patronised the inn (including Jack and Peggy and Jack Austin) and we were given a room to ourselves just offthe main bar. Avery enjoyable finalê to the evening was had by atl and, even as we left tbr oul homeward journey. there was still some light remaining in the sk.v. - 8-

ICE? (In Case of Emergency information)

SERIOUS injuries are ørtunatety a very rare occuffence on walks and, as a result, walking groups are generally unprepared for them.

Within the emergency services, tkee important pieces of information about an injured person are very helpful and are known as ICE information (or 'in case of emergency' information) and carrying this information with us can really help first responders to make the correct decisions when they anive to help.

These are written details of-

L You¡ name and address 2. Any relevant medicai history or medication being taken 3. The name and telephone number of someone to contact

A group of medics have designed a plastic, credit-card sized ICE CARD. They can be bought online at www.icecard.co.uk if you can't find anything locally

Ifyou buy one (or indeed make one out yourself) why not carry it inside your rucksack lid on walks and on your person at other times. At the moment we probably wouldn't be able to tell the first responders much which could have implications, Please give it a thought. I'm going to make one out myself.

Let's make the UMSON WALKS an ICE example! Steve

TII\NKS:

NIANY thanks for all your thoughts and good wishes while I was indisposeC. Thel' obviously had the requiled efl'ect because it didn't seem too long before I tecovered - probably also because ofmy many graduated walks around our area at home! Steve 9

TflE NEXT WALKS

SADLY, the second and frnal evening walk for this year is our next walk. We are in the Clifford and Boston Spa area and so the walk is reasonably level and easy, particularly as we pass through each village and use a section of the Ebor Way alongside the . Apart from lane and track-walking there are some field-paths also where there may be cattle, horses and sheep.

See the attached poster for more detail.

DATE : MONDAY EVENING, 13.h JULY,2O15

TIME : Please meet 6.45 for 7pm start (we return about 9.20 - 9,30pm )

PLACE : Please park and meet in the car park of the Old Star Inn on High Street, Clifford (near St. Edward's Church), Please park away from the building.

OUR nen day walk lies just to the east of Wentbridge and the Great North Road (.A.1) in the quiet and serene valley of the River Went which changes in character during the walk from the mixed woodland and flowery meadows of a magnesian limestone gorge to wide expanses of flat a¡able farmland, Between, and situated on either side of the river, lie the twin mellow- stone villages of Kirk Smeaton and Little Smeaton through which we walk.

The name ofthe gorge is Brockadale (deriving from 'broken-dale' because of its craggy outcrops). It was purchased by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust in 1966 and has since increased in size, becoming the Brockadale Nature Reserve.

During the walk we also cross the former course ofthe Barnsley-Selby railway and pass the site of the 12ú century Norton Priory which was demolished fotlowing the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1588.

Note the possible short cuts which can be made (see attached poster) from both Kirk and Little Smeaton (returning I 15 to 2 pm).

DATE : SUNDAY,26th JULY,2OI5

TINIE : Please meet 10.45 for 11.00 am (we return about 3.30 - 3.45 pm)

PLACE : Please park and meet in the free li¡ture Reservc car park at tlìe termin¿tion of Leys Lane. O.S. ref. SE 5l.f 173; Post Code WF8 3LJ. See poster for further directions. l0
