Dog-friendly walks in Ulley

Ulley Country Park

A twelve hectare reservoir in the valley of Ulley Brook between Aughton and Ulley village, five miles south-east of Rotherham, with a made path right round the water and a sailing club on the north bank. The reservoir is fished under Rotherham Council permits and the far bank is quiet enough for herons and grebes. Parking is charged twenty-four hours a day, every day, at the Pleasley Road car park, which is the only sensible way in — Reservoir Road and Ulley Lane carry waiting restrictions. The circuit is level apart from the pull up from the dam at the western end.
