9. A circular walk from Sinnington Village via Appleton-le-Moors

Essentially you walk north from Sinnington Village on the east side of the River Seven through lanes, woods and meadows, then swing round west crossing the River Seven at Appleton Mill farm, climbing up to Appleton-le-Moors Village and heading down back to Sinnington meeting up with the west bank of the River Seven.
