Persley Bridge

2021-05-03

The way along the River Don can be interesting at points, so some consideration is required along the way. Follow the way which takes you to a steep dike up to the Bannatynes fitness focus, follow the way to one side and you will go to the Persley Bridge, stroll over the scaffold and keep to one side where you will arrive at the Persley walled garden. The nursery is a stunning spot to stop for a rest and a spot of lunch. From the back mass of the nursery follow the way which takes you to which used to be Persley castle and is currently a nursing home. Take the way to one side and head down to the stream way. The River Don's past as an industrial stream comes to realization as you stroll by the remains of the old apparatus from the Grandholme Mill. Mostly accessible yet covers lopsided ground with some steep slopes and parts can get extremely sloppy. The lower way along the riverbank among there and Grandholm Bridge is not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs. Likewise the way to the factory lades Intake on the north bank.
