Thurgoland in times past

Heritage Trail

A short heritage trail has been developed to accompany the Thurgoland In Times Past book and DVD. This short walk from the village centre goes along Old Mill Lane, passing the sites of the wire mills which are now converted into residential properties. A pleasant circular walk of around three miles, the route passes Huthwaite Hall before returning to the village.

The trail follows public rights-of-way and hard-surfaced lanes and is suitable for wheelchair users and young families with children in pushchairs.

Discovering Thurgoland's local history is just one aspect of the trail, with views across open countryside and a rich wildlife also to enjoy.
