To coincide with Walk Wheel Cycle Trust's Big Walk and Wheel (16th - 27th March), Barratt and David Wilson Homes is highlighting the walking and cycling routes around its Penning Fold and Penning Ridge developments in Penistone.

Walk Wheel Cycle Trust's Big Walk and Wheel is a national competition designed to inspire pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality, and discover how these changes benefit their world.

In Walk Wheel Cycle Trust's Children's Walking and Cycling Index (2024), it was revealed that 14% of primary school trips are carried out by bike. The vast majority of children also support actions like creating more cycle paths to improve walking and cycling to school.

Penning Fold and Penning Ridge benefit from cycleways and designated walking routes throughout the developments, which provide a safe and easy way for residents to experience the development and the surrounding areas to the fullest.

Sam Wood, Sales Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West, said: “We're proud to be providing cycleways at our Penistone developments.

“Homebuyers can take a leisurely cycle around the developments, or they can use the routes to commute to work or school, reducing their carbon footprint and living a more sustainable life.

“We would like to wish everyone taking part in Walk Wheel Cycle Trust's Big Walk and Wheel the very best of luck as they adapt their usual commute to school.”

Situated in the picturesque Pennine Heart of South Yorkshire, Penning Fold and Penning Ridge offer an abundance of scenic views and walks, with the Scout Dike Reservoir and the Trans Pennine Trail also easily accessible.

Barratt Homes' Penning Fold development currently has a selection of two, three, and four bedroom homes available, and David Wilson Homes' Penning Ridge development has a range of four bedroom homes available.
