A village inn at 33 Wellthorne Lane, reopened in October 2021 after a thorough refurbishment, a short walk above Ingbirchworth Reservoir and its circular path north west of Penistone. The inside is split into separate drinking and dining spaces and there is a sheltered patio served by its own kiosk hatch, which is the sensible place to sit if the dog is wet from the reservoir circuit. There are letting rooms and a car park. CAMRA's Barnsley branch surveyors list the pub as dog friendly and record that it has accommodation, but say nothing about whether dogs are allowed in the rooms.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
A mile and a half round a small Yorkshire Water reservoir on the moor edge above Penistone, with the best of it along the nineteenth-century dam wall looking back over the water to the Pennines. There is no car park and no toilet: parking is on-street on Wellthorne Lane in Ingbirchworth village, S36 7GN, which is a narrow lane where residents need to get past. The far half at the shallow western head is grassier and wetter than the dam end. The Fountain Inn is a hundred yards from the parking, which makes this the shortest walk-and-a-pint pairing in the patch.
A fourth-generation family farm on High Lane at Ingbirchworth running a caravan and camping site that has been going since 1980, with a large hook-up field and a smaller enclosed paddock for family groups. Its own site states plainly that it is a dog friendly site, with parking on the pitch, a toilet and shower block, washing up facilities and disabled access. It opens from April to October only, weather depending, and everything is booked online. Ingbirchworth and Royd Moor reservoirs are both within a mile, and the Fountain Inn is in the village.
The smaller and quieter of the pair of reservoirs above Ingbirchworth, half a mile from its bigger neighbour and rarely busy. Yorkshire Water planted the ground around it with native oak and wildflowers, so it holds its interest through the year in a way the bare moorland reservoirs do not. The circuit is about a mile and a half on a mixture of wide surfaced track and narrow paths that Yorkshire Water itself describes as muddy and riddled with tree roots, so it is not a route for a pushchair. Parking is on-street only, on Royd Moor Road.
Nobody has written one for The Fountain Inn. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
