Dog-friendly attractions in Royston

Sixty-four hectares of reclaimed colliery ground off Lund Hill Lane on the Royston side of the Dearne, built on the spoil of Monkton Colliery and Royston Drift Mine and opened as a country park in 2011. The paths climb to open viewpoints over the whole Dearne valley, with woodland and wetland below and a rabbit figure cut into the hillside by local schoolchildren. There is a free car park with a 2.1 metre height barrier and seasonal opening, plus alternative parking on Lund Hill Lane itself. The Land Trust, which manages the site, states plainly on its own page for the park that dogs are welcome.
