    Walk around Tickhill in South Yorkshire

    11:00 -13:00
    14/06/2026

    Vicky Wade from DAS local history section will lead a one mile walk around this fascinating place once the centre of a major Anglo-Norman baronetcy which held manors in Derbyshire. This walk takes in some of the history of buildings within the small market town, the grade 1 listed church and a short footpath to view the landscape close to the remains of a Norman castle.

    The date has been chosen to give members the option to follow the walk with a visit to the castle on its once-a-year public opening 2.00pm to 4.30pm (£5 pay on the day).

    Meet at the junction of Worksop Road and Westgate on the green sward opposite the Travellers Rest Inn (postcode DN11 9NQ) at 11.00am. The walk is easy with few gradual slopes. Free street parking is available in the vicinity and there is a car park north of the church on St Mary’s Road (DN11 9LZ).

    15 places, book on Eventbrite by donation (suggested minimum £5 per person)
