Canklow Heritage Trail
The Canklow Heritage Trail was officially opened by The Mayor of
Rotherham Hilda Jack in December 2005. I'd spotted new signs and improved paths when I took
the dog for a stroll in Boston Park a few weeks earlier. I'd even stopped to read some of
the signs.
The trail takes about an hour (1.6 miles) and goes through Canklow Woods. There are fifteen
information posts along the trail starting at the Boston Park entrance. These detail the
history of the woods and of Rotherham itself. The trail also passes over Canklow Earthworks a
scheduled ancient monument.
A leaflet is available from Rotherham Visitor Centre, 40 Bridgegate, Rotherham, S60 1PQ. Tel. +44 (0) 1709 835904, Email ticatrotherham.gov.uk (remember to replace at with @).
