Summary:
The Clayton West Circular Walk explores the beautiful countryside on the fringes of this attractive stone-built village in West Yorkshire. Clayton West was occasionally used as a location for Britain's longest running comedy series Last of the Summer Wine and one can imagine Compo and his pals exploring the paths and lanes of this walk which begins at St Michael's church and goes by the River Dearne, Clayton Hall Farm, Bilham Grange and Bilham Shrogg Woods, Hoyland Bank, Winter Hill, Swallow Hill, Upper Common, Lower Common and Riding Wood before returning to the village.
