Lovely quiet route. Best when dry, and heading from Kiveton towards Worksop (downhill)

Runs parallel to the A57 from Kindrick to N/S Anston. Very pleasant trail down into and along the valley following the stream from N.Anston.

A small Wood, but a little gem, very pretty , beautiful trails alongside Anston Brook, tunnels under the railway & bridges over the Brook. Ancient woodland around a gorge cut through the Limestone ridge during the last Glacial period. Lots of very old trees growing precariously out of the stone sides of the gorge

Small elusive rock cave in the escarpment, just below the path. You will find it from the Top path via the semi-circle track. Supposedly haunted, it's popular with ghosthunters in the night. The cave was excavated in the 1960's which revealed ancient flint tools from the ice age and animal bones from animals such reindeer and hyena 12,000 years ago - That's Ten Thousand Years BC!

I’m not usually a canal tow path rider but it has to be said that the Chesterfield canal is pretty with many picturesque locks and canal side cottages, lovely place 🥰🥰
