Trans Pennine Trail: Penistone to Silkstone Common by Willow Lane

The first four miles of the Trans Pennine Trail's Penistone to Old Moor section, and the only part of it that leaves the railway. You follow the old line east from the car park behind Penistone market to Oxspring, where a very short stretch of road takes you onto Willow Lane, an old packhorse route that climbs steeply out of the Don valley. Off-road lanes and a farm track then drop you back onto the dismantled railway and into Silkstone Common, which has shops and a pub. Both ends have a station on the Penistone line, so it works one way with a train back.
