Anglers Country Park to RSPB Old Moor

Starting at Anglers Country Park this is a lovely route to RSPB Old Moor following the TPT (Trans Pennine Trail) mainly on trails BUT there are some short road sections.

We roll down through Haw Woods to join the TPT following the old Barnsley canal. Skirting Royston and Cudworth where we have 2 short road sections, then on through Lundwood crossing the River Dearn.

We skirt Ardsley and Wombwell, all on the TPT and arrive at RSPB Old Moor for a well earned brew stop before returning on the same route.

Toilets available at both Anglers Park and RSPB Old Moor along with refreshments.

Parking is free at Anglers Park

CYCLE HELMETS MUST BE WORN
You will not be permitted to take part in the ride without a correctly fitting bike helmet.

This is a challenging ride. Please ensure you are properly prepared for cycling and being out for about 3 hours. Ensure you have enough clothing layers. It is easy to take layers off when you get hot but very difficult to warm up if no spare layers.

Food and Drink whist cycling.
Water is a MUST! Two bottles are always better than one if you can fit them to your bike or a camel pack (rucksack for carrying water).
You may not feel like drinking but keeping hydrated is a must and extremely important to your wellbeing. Frequent sips of water throughout your ride are recommended.

Food snacks such as energy bars, chocolate/ muesli bars are small enough to fit into your pocket and to give you a boost if needed.

PLEASE bring Bike Pump, Spare Inner Tube, Puncture Repair Kit

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
