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 Rotherham Railway Station and progressing along the Don Valley Way at 1pm and will walk to Meadowhall Railway Station. It should take 2-3 hours but we can not be sure how long it will take. There are trains from Meadowhall to Rotherham throughout the day however so it should be easy to get back to the start.
