Doncaster Ramblers – Brockholes Saturday, 24th May 2025

Four walkers embarked on a 11-mile circular, but varied, route through the Holme Valley. The walk started and ended in the village of Brockholes to the north of Holmfirth, on a cool but dry day with excellent visibility.

We don't need dozens for great trek to go ahead

The trail meandered through Honley Woods, a scenic area known for its natural beauty, before ascending to Upperthong. There were spectacular views over the surrounding landscape with both the|Victoria Tower (built on top of Castle Hill) and the Emley Moor mast in the distance clearly visible.

Lunch was taken at Netherthong, a village located on higher ground than Netherthong, with the names possibly designating higher and lower strips of land.

The return leg followed the River Holme, providing pleasant riverside views.
