Stage five of The Stroll took place on Friday (my last day before two days stuck indoors for Open Studios). I took the train to Bolton upon Dearne which is a typical (ex)pit village near Barnsley, and walked on the Sustrans route back to Doncaster. It was a good day and a great walk, passing the Earth Centre (failed Millennium project, now by the look of it a hotel), Connisbrough castle and many amazing railway viaducts and bridges.
The first part of the walk was through wetlands of the Don Valley, made wetter by mining subsidence that allows water to collect. Saw the first swallows of the year, as well as egrets.
