Description of the walk

Park in Featherstone Library car park.

(S/E) Turn left out of Library entrance and walk the full length of Victoria Street to the new estate. Turn sharp left onto a broad tarmac path between the allotment gardens and the new estate and walk to Post Office Road. Continue forward and walk alongside Featherstone Rovers Rugby Ground. At the end of the security fencing turn right.

Walk over the level-crossing, taking care to look up and down the track for trains and turn immediately left. Follow the footpath alongside the security fencing until it emerges onto Station Lane.
