Livestock — leads on

A post-industrial washland on the River Don between Kilnhurst and Swinton, rewetted by Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust into grassland, scrub, hedgerow and scrapes, with the protected remains of Kilnhurst Forge still on the ground. Snipe overwinter on the scrapes in good numbers and kingfishers work the Don along the eastern boundary. Cattle graze the reserve every year from April to October, which is the main reason the Trust asks for dogs on leads. The Trust publishes no car park here; buses 217 and 218 from Rotherham town centre stop on Wharf Road, five minutes' walk away, and that is the practical way in.

A post-industrial washland on the River Don between Kilnhurst and Swinton, turned into wetland by Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust and now a mosaic of grassland, scrub, hedgerow and mature trees with drains and ditches running through it. It is flat, low-lying ground beside the river and the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation, which means it can be genuinely wet underfoot after rain, and that is the point of a washland. It is a short, level circuit rather than a day out, and it pairs well with the canal towpath running north towards Swinton.
