Water park in Sheffield

“We came for an event day, and there some stalls selling local produce by the cafe. There were free guided tours of the mill, and you got to make your own flat breads and gingerbread to try. Walks round the mill pond and reservoir are stunning with lots of ducks to feed.”

“Brilliant relaxing place, especially with the fresh water”

“Absolutely lovely, it's that nice we have put a caravan on permanently, the pub is on site food good ,friendly people”

“We had such a great day here! tons of exciting slides as well as a fun obstacle course. What really made it special was the paddle boarding! Right next to the water park where you can rent paddle boards. It was the perfect way to wind down after all the water park excitement. The water was calm, the scenery was peaceful, and it was such a fun activity for both beginners and more experienced paddlers. Only “downside” is if you don’t have a car it’s a 40 minute walk from the nearest bus stop but if you enjoy walking it should be no problem! It’s rare to find a place that combines both high-energy water park fun with something more relaxing like paddle boarding — we loved both and would definitely come back. Highly recommended for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a full day of water activities!”

“An ideal place for an afternoon of dog walking”

“Great little local park with an excellent cafe. Play stuff for kids. Pond for ducks etc. Play croquet or have a beer at Barringtons next door. There are events during summer and it has a very interesting history. Steam train passes by at the bottom. Whitworth Centre has all sorts of stuff and it also has a very interesting history. Blimey l sound like Steve Davies.”

“Great woodland with plenty of seating to enjoy the scenery and sounds of nature. Plenty of rough terrain so not suited to those who prefer smoother paths. Although there are some easier spots if you stay at the bottom. A lot of the best views are uphill though. Great place to explore, relax or have a picnic.”

“Popular with our granddaughters ; a lake to walk round, ducks and geese to feed. An exciting playground for toddlers to 10 year olds. A bridge for pooh sticks, chatty fishermen; a lovely afternoon.”

“Lovely place but be VERY CAREFUL if following Google Maps directions - ours tried to take us via a woodland bridleway which was totally unsuitable. I think the maps route has been updated now (correct route is via Cupthorpe) but leaving this just in case.”

“Beautiful grounds! You could easily spend all day here in glorious weather. I’ll certainly be returning with a book and picnic basket. Please be aware it is £3 to park, whether you are a Blue Badge holder or not. Plenty of parking spaces. Highly recommended park to visit.”

“It's been many years since I visited the park, greatly improved. The grounds were very well kept, gorgeous autumn colours. The museum was very good with very knowledgeable guides Really enjoyed it”

“Wow what a fantastic site!! People were very friendly and helpful. Very tidy and super clean. We will be visiting again soon!”

“Great location for family, brilliant water feature play area. Climbing frames, swings open space for picnics. Toilets, cafe and ice cream parlour, lovely walk arond the lake, fishing, lovely scenery. Free parking, well maintained paths, this place is great for all ages, and short or longer stays and relaxkng days.”

“❤️ Lovely walk, clean and quiet. There is a fishing pond for those who fish, lots of little paths through woodland areas. Great place for a stroll, very scenic to say its in Barnsley town centre. Enjoyable for dog walkers, there are paths for when its wet, but gets muddy off the beacon track if you dont mind muddy feet. There are picnic benches around the pond, but the downside to this gorgeous place no rest room facilities along the way. There is also a skateboard park and plenty of parking.”

“Had a great time at the farm! The facilities are clean and well-maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of fun and interactive activities with the animals. Kids will love the pony ride — don’t miss it!”

“A little oasis. Friendly dog walkers, plenty of birds, tranquil.”

“A great fun place to take the kids or grand kids.”

“Be prepared if you are walking dogs. Poo bins are in the car park so, you will need to carry those bags for a while.”

“We went to Ulley Country Park today, it rained slightly on and off but it was still very warm. The wildlife was fascinating, despite the weather making it seem hopeless. Today we saw Northern Lapwings and Chinese Geese (I believe) for the first time, alongside several kestrels (three of which got fairly close), moorhens, coots, great crested grebes, mallards, swans, greylag geese, canada geese, a little egret, what we believed was a gadwall and a potential terrapin on the edge of the water. We didn’t see a heron on this occasion, but we most likely will on our next visit. The parking closed a bit earlier than we planned to stay due to us arriving after the school run, but we ended up finding a near enough parking spot. The trail around was slightly difficult due to the trail moving away from the reservoir at one point due to private land, but we managed to see it all by going a different way to get to the other side. Overall, this is a great place for birdwatching or just an overall walk in nature.”

“Good size park. Car parks were in good order. Some of the paths were in a state. Very very muddy. Area to let dogs off leads. A couple of parks. Lake that can be fished. Parking was free.”

“Love walking at Poulter. Loads of paths to choose from and some beautiful views. Usually really quiet and so peaceful”

“It's cheaper than the main carpark, and there's always an ice cream van in the car park. A lovely 7.5 miles walk all round on a good day.”

“Stayed for a few weeks in June. Lovely site. Well placed for Worksop and a variety of supermarkets. Brilliant couple running it. Very professional, helpful and friendly. Thanks Chris and Mick. Will definitely return Mick & Jackie”

“Such a quaint little cart. The workers are always lovely and hit the mark with their drinks - I’ve never left disappointed. They always have unique drinks on offer and are in the best location for a chill or stroll”

“Some of the finest woodland walks in Sheffield (and there are many to choose from!) Visit the Shepherds Wheel for a look back at what made Sheffield a fantastic place to live.”

“Took our touring caravan to misterton for a long weekend. Didn't spend much time on the site as we were visiting relatives nearby. It was exactly what we needed, small and peaceful. Well maintained grass pitches. Hard pitches availabe too. Lovely pub 2 mins walk away. For a longer stay, onsite toilets and showers would have been nice. Annie was very welcoming and helpful.”

“A lovely bike track for kids, a playground with a wet play area. What a lovely park.”

“Perfect place to let your dogs have a run around. Fully secure!”

“Play park. Open space. Little pond. Shady spots. Perfect for jogging or cycling. Picnics and quick play.”

“Great to spot Squirrels and birds, been going here since I was little. Great for Picnics and Dog Walking”
