Barnsley Boundary 2

The second leg of the Barnsley Boundary walk goes from Bretton Park to Brierly, a distance of about ten miles.
The walk starts of with an uphill section to Woolley Edge which, in altitude, is the high point of the walk. A slight navigational error took us up a path parallel to the correct one and through a scout camp.
View back from the scout camp.
After a section of road walking along Woolley Edge we descended towards Wooley village by Wheatley Wood
Heading towards Woolley village.
   The walk continues by quiet lanes towards Notton but crosses fields to the Applehaigh Clough. This is a pleasant spot with a clear stream flowing through a wooded ravine. The path then leads via disused railways and field paths past Shafton to Brierly. A pleasant enough walk but not as memorable the first section.
