What to expect:

Join us to walk 2.7 miles Rotherham heritage walk (Don Valley Way Rotherham 2 – A meeting of two rivers). This was developed as part of the DCRT Don Valley Way (DVW). The DVW is a 29 mile walk stretching from Sheffield to Doncaster. This particular circular route is an offshoot of the main way, taking in Rotherham’s town centre and green spaces.

As part of our volunteer day we will be checking the status of the way markers and updating them if necessary with new ones. We will also do some litter picking along the way and we will stop to take in the history of the route and to look out for nature! All equipment (gloves, litter pickers, bin bags) will be provided. A tea break will be provided by DCRT too.

This walk includes some steep inclines so please wear appropriate footwear.
