Midweek walk: 4.2 miles from Knott Lane to Micklefield Park and Maggie’s.

Starting from Knott Lane (a right turn off the A65 before Rawdon Cemetery if you are travelling from Rawdon crossroads) we will make our way along quiet lanes, through fields and woodland paths to Rawdon Golf Club. A number of paths crisscross the golf course and take us through to Micklefield Lane and the adjacent park. Here we will stop for coffee at Maggie’s before making our way back through the park and golf course to Woodlands Drive and a leisurely stroll back to the cars, passing some once grand buildings. Please be aware that this area of Rawdon is quite hilly, so there are some undulating sections and the last stretch back to Knott Lane climbs gently up a rough path! As well as crossing open fields, some of the paths are uneven and stony, so poles and walking boots are recommended. We do cross fields of livestock, mainly sheep, but last time there were cattle and there could be horses. There are lots of gates and just one stile. See attached map for route and elevation profile.
