About

Canklow Woods is a Rotherham Council woodland of mixed deciduous trees and open glades on the hillside south of the town centre. A network of paths criss-crosses the wood, and the Rotherham Round long-distance walk passes through on its way from Boston Castle. Bluebells carpet parts of the wood in spring.
