Departure from Cawthorne (South Yorkshire)
The Cawthorne Boundary Walk is a 14 mile circular walk usually starting at the Village Hall. I have broken the roughly into 4 parts smaller of approximately 3-4 miles radiating from the village, enabling the walker to walk the village boundary in part over 4 walks or the complete boundary in 1. I pick up a public footpath close to the center of the village, opposite Beatson House restaurant and next to the Methodist Chapel.

Departure from Stocksbridge (South Yorkshire)
Nice long moorland walk using public transport to facilitate a linear walk. There are a couple of road miles to start with, but the roads are not too busy. This is not a fun route in poor weather as it's quite exposed and there isn't really an obvious alternative.
