Barnsley - History and Heritage - 3 miler

Come along and expect a really warm welcome for this sociable friendly bike ride. A gently undulating traffic free meander along the Trans Pennine Trail as we ride around the beautiful surroundings of Old Moor and Manvers Lakes. There is a wide variety of wild flowers and wildlife to see. Swans, geese, coots, moorhens and other winged beauties making lots of noise as they busily feed their young. We will stop for a short break at the Manvers Lake Cafe, where we can look out over the lake for swans and geese along with other waterfowl as they beat their wings on the water to prepare for take-off. On our return to the RSPB Old Moor Wetland Centre, if we fancy we can browse around the visitors centre and shop for souvenirs or sample the delights of the cafe.
