Worsbrough CP via the TPT and other trails

This route will take us to Worsbrough country park south of Barnsley via a mixture of trails including some parts of the TPT (Trans Pennine Trail) network. We will have lunch there at either the Wheels & Walkers café or the Miller's Tea Room, or you can bring your own food if you prefer.

After lunch we will return by a (mostly) different route with a mixture of trails including more of the TPT.

Post-ride refreshment is available at the nearby Star Inn for those who fancy it.
