National Cycle Route 67
This signed Sustrans Cycle Route runs between Long Eaton to Markington via Chesterfield, Sheffield, Barnsley, Harrogate and Leeds.
Route highlights include traffic free waterside sections along the Chesterfield Canal, the lovely lakes at Rother Valley Country Park and Shipley Country Park and along the River Aire into Leeds. At the start there's also the off road Nutbrook Trail along the Erewash Canal.
Between Chesterfield and Leeds you will follow an off road part of the epic Trans Pennine Trail.
There's another long traffic free section along the Dove Valley Trail in the Barnsley area.
The Wetherby to Spofforth Castle section runs along the Harland Way. This is also traffic free and uses another disused railway line.
Please Note: the section between Heanor and Tibshelf uses and approximation of future Sustrans routes. This is to create a complete linear route - some parts of this section you may need to dismount your bike and walk. This is also true of the area around Grassmoor Country Park in Chesterfield and the section between Leeds and Bramham.
