Rother Valley Country Park

Rotherham's largest country park, a chain of four lakes made from opencast workings in the Rother valley between Killamarsh and Wales Bar, with a made circuit round the northern lakes and woodland belts on the valley sides. There is a watersports centre on the main lake, a cycle hire, a golf course and a cafe, so it is busy in a way the Dearne Valley sites are not. Parking is charged twenty-four hours a day, every day, and the main car park is signed off Mansfield Road. The lakeside path is level, wide and surfaced, and it is one of the few walks in the borough that is genuinely usable in a wheelchair the whole way round.
