Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Starts at
Edlington Lane entrance, Warmsworth, DN4 9LS, or the pedestrian gate beside the library on Low Road West DN4 9LS
Parking
No car park. Limited on-street parking on Stapleton Road only, and the council asks visitors to be considerate to residents
Directions to the start →

A worked-out limestone quarry off Edlington Lane turned into a park, with the old faces still forming the back wall of the site and wildflower ground on the quarry floor. It is a short circuit rather than a long walk, but it is enclosed on most sides and there is no water in it, so under the borough PSPO there is no standing lead requirement and it is a reasonable place for a dog to run inside the built-up area. There are pedestrian entrances beside the library on Low Road West, off Edlington Lane opposite number 38, and behind the garages on Stapleton Road. There is no car park at all and only limited on-street parking on Stapleton Road, where the council asks you to be considerate to residents.

THE SMALL PRINTDoncaster's dog control PSPO applies to all council open space: dogs must be on a lead on all footpaths around lakes and ponds and in cemeteries and churchyards, must be kept out of fenced children's play areas signed as dog exclusion areas, and must be leaded on council sports fields when in use for an organised authorised event. You must pick up and be able to produce a bag on request. £100 fixed penalty.

Holiday Inn Doncaster A1(M) Jct 36

DN4 9UX
No reviews yet

A full-service hotel on High Road at Warmsworth, right on junction 36 of the A1(M) and the closest bed to the Don Gorge, Sprotbrough Flash and the Conisbrough end of the Trans Pennine Trail. The pet policy is published in full on the hotel's own amenities page and the useful line is that dogs are allowed in the hotel bar, which is unusual for a chain hotel and means you are not stuck in the bedroom all evening. It charges for all pets except assistance dogs at £15 per night, takes a maximum of two, allows only dogs rather than pets generally, and asks that any pet over 35kg is notified in advance. Pets cannot be left in the room alone, so plan around that if you want to eat out.
