Fox Valley Evening Circular

Starting at Fox Valley, Stocksbridge we head out through Deepcar and soon meet quiet country lanes taking us through woodland past Wortley Top Forge and up the steady climb to Thurgoland. Once through the village we make our way through the lanes to Hood Green, turning left onto a lovely swooping descent towards the direction of Silkstone Common, and on towards Oxspring. From here we head through lovely countryside, passing a farmyard and then head down Underbank Lane, and join the cycle path known locally as the Steel Valley Trail back to Fox Valley for a welcome coffee or cold drink at the award winning Pontis Italian Kitchen, where we can sit outside on their terrace. The ride is 20km in total, and will take approx 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours at a steady pace. As with all our rides, nobody gets left behind, and we stop to admire the views and get our breath back as and when required
