River Rother train stations
Walking distances are estimates from the straight-line distance and the type of ground, not a measured route. Check a map before you set off.
There-and-back walks
No two stations share a walkable stretch of the River Rother, so these walks head out along the riverside path and come back to the same station. The distance is the longest the riverside path allows, up to 20 miles; turn round sooner for a shorter walk.
| Station | Out along the riverside path | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chesterfield | 4.3 mi and back | 8.5 to 9 mi | about 3 hours |
| Woodhouse | 3.1 mi and back | 7 mi | about 2.5 hours |
Times use Naismith's rule and don't include stops.
