St Mary's Bridge
Address: York Road Roundabout, Doncaster DN5 8AN, UK

Join the Friends of the Don Valley Way as we walk the Don Valley Way to replace any missing or damaged way markers along the route.

We will be meeting at the Doncaster end of the Don Valley Way at 10am and will walk to Conisbrough railway station. It should take 3-4 hours but we can not be sure how long it will take. There are trains from Conisbrough to Doncaster throughout the day however so it should be easy to get back to the start.

Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and footwear on the day. Volunteers must arrive before 10am as we will be leaving then. Please bring your own lunch and drink for the day as we will not be able to provide refreshments on this day. For more information please contact task leader Anthony Cox on 07384 543124.
