Wharncliffe Woods
Wharncliffe Woods has a rich post industrial history with many quarry workings hidden within the woods.
Its steep terrain and many streams make it an ideal venue for both mountain biking and strenuous walking, without going to the Peak District. There are two walking trails in the wood, marked yellow and red. These are over rough terrain and can be wet under foot. The cycle trails are currently under review and the black cross country trail will be closed in the coming weeks to make way for a new trail project in conjunction with local riders.
How to get there:
Grenoside is the nearest town or village.
OS Grid Reference: SK304952
The wood can be access from the car park on the Woodhead road running northwards through Grenoside.
