This is a fantastic route along the beautiful cycle paths, woodland trails and farmland trails. Some quiet roads to join to the trails.

Our route starts at the Sandall Beat Wood car park and proceeds around the trails of the wood and heading into Shaw Wood. Then the quiet roads through Armthorpe to the farmland trails leading to Branton. We then take trails past the Wildlife park (we might see monkeys) and the Hayfield fishing lake. Then past the Wildlife Park again (we might see wolves) towards our stop in Auckley at the Hub Cafe. Then we travel on some trails and quiet roads through Rossington on to the Greenway trail, then Rake's Lane past Annabels cafe and over the railway line and past the edge of Potteric Carr briefly along the red path and white path of Bessacar. Then past Doncaster Racecourse and back to the car park at Sandall Beat Wood.
