The central section covers a whole network of routes, linking the major urban centres of the region including Sheffield, Rotherham, Wakefield, Chesterfield, and Barnsley. The map shows a walking, cycling, and in places, horse riding route.

 

This section of the route covers an amazing range of sights and scenes as the Trail passes through countryside, towns and cities of the North of England, on historic railways, packhorse routes and canals, riverside paths and woodland bridleways.
