Westfield Sports Centre

A delightful route for all the family to enjoy, taking in some local history and many wonderful watery views beyond Mosborough, Beighton and Sothall on the south eastern boundary of the city.

This route explores a disused railway and the reclaimed open cast mining site which is now Rother Valley Country Park. The route begins at Westfield Sports Centre and, with the exception of a few minor roads around the sports centre is traffic-free on purpose made cycle trails. The route is essentially flat with a few short ascents over bridges, which can be easily walked if necessary, and a number of 'squeeze gates' for bikes and pedestrians along the way.
