Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Eighteenth-century landscaped parkland below a Grade I hall two miles north-west of Doncaster city centre, with a chain of ornamental lakes in the valley and long grass slopes above them. The council's own page for the park names walks with the dog as one of the things it is for, and the parkland is open every day of the year even when the museum is shut. Under Doncaster's dog control PSPO the lead comes on for the footpaths that run round the lakes, and dogs must stay out of the fenced children's play areas; the open grass between the hall and the lakes is off lead. Parking is card or contactless only after repeated thefts from the machines, from £1.20 for an hour up to £7.00 over four hours, and the barrier locks at 9pm.

THE SMALL PRINTDoncaster's dog control PSPO requires a lead on all footpaths around lakes and ponds, which covers the lakeside paths here, and bans dogs from fenced children's play areas signed as dog exclusion areas. Breach is a £100 fixed penalty and you must produce a bag on request.
