 This ride takes you along NCN route 6 from Yorkshire into Nottinghamshire. You start near the train station in Rotherham on the River Rother and head south towards Moorgate. The route then passes through Ulley Country Park with its lovely reservoir and wildlife.
Quiet roads then take you through Aston before a lovely traffic free stretch through Rother Valley Country Park - an award winning 750 acre park with a nature reserve, lakes and bridleways.
The route continues east on country roads, passing Harthill Reservoir and Old Spring Wood on the way to Shirehoaks where a pleasant roll along the Chesterfield Canal takes you into Worksop, finishing at the train station.
