The route between Clennell Street and "the castles" (don't expect an actual castle or a street 😁) could be a bit boggy. There are some public toilets and a pub in Alwinton.. the birds were also allowed to use the men's toilets when we were there except they were pooping in the sink; a bit unhygienic but it was amusing😄. Great walk if you get the good weather like we did.
