Looks amazing there and as you elude too, ripe for restoration. The therapeutic element of walking along a canal corridor is arresting and calming and offers incredible health benefits, an opportunity to shake off the pressures of busy pavements and roads in cities and towns. Very informative as usual. Thank you.
You're right, walking along water courses always lifts my spirits. Interestingly I noticed the difference in air quality the moment I left the canal and headed for Wakefield train station.
I am So glad TH-cam gave me recommendations for your videos a little time ago and I love your walks They really make me feel Sad seeing Our Wonderful English Canals that was just abandoned and left to fall into ruin and some actually filled in, built on etc 😢 Thank you for covering these important part our culture and heritage I feel it’s important Will you walk the Dearn and Dove Canal at sometime? BTW where are you from are you from the area? Keep up the Great work 😋
Thanks very much. I'm hoping to visit the Dearne and Dove at some point. I've been looking into that one, another sad loss. Yes Derbyshire and Yorkshire is my stamping ground, but I'm hoping to visit some canals further afield in the near future.
It’s ripe for restoration but Barnsley council haven’t included it in their long term plans . The group liquidated a fair few years ago :( My house is built actually in a lock pound between two of the locks on the way to Barnby basin ! So at least I live on the canal haha

What a lovely video and such a shame the canal won't be restored, would love to see it up and running again.
Yes I would like to see it brought back. It looks like a distant prospect sadly.
Liked the pulley wheel on the stone block, gems of from a more challenging time… Subscribed … Thank you!
Thank you. I suspect that pulley might have been more trouble than it was worth.

It's a real shame that the canal does not have a chance of restoration. It was one of my favourite walks this year.
I believe the Barnsley CRG folded a few years ago, they'd had no new members for years, they passed their unused funds onto another canal group.
Thanks for the update. I've had a search online, it looks like the funds went to the Chesterfield Canal restoration.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it, it is a lovely walk.
