Winscar Reservoir

Dunford Bridge · S36 4TF

30mCLIMB

95%OFF-ROAD

A high moorland reservoir above Dunford Bridge, with a wide tarmac bridleway carrying National Cycle Route 68 between the two Yorkshire Water car parks at Broad Hill and Windle Edge. Yorkshire Water's own description is that the track is flat for its entire length, which makes this the only surfaced level walk of any size at this altitude in the borough and the obvious choice on a wet day or with an older dog. The reservoir was built in the 1850s and enlarged in the 1970s, and the exposed moor around it means wind is the deciding factor rather than mud. Combine it with the Trans Pennine Trail, which ends at Dunford Bridge car park a few hundred yards away.

Windleden Farm Holiday Cottages

Dunford Bridge · S36 4TE

Three barn-conversion cottages on a working hill farm at 1,250 feet on Windleden Lane, between Winscar Reservoir and the Windleden reservoirs above Dunford Bridge, converted in 2020. Two of the three take dogs and the terms are published in detail rather than left vague, which is unusual and worth having. The Trans Pennine Trail at Dunford Bridge is under two miles away and Langsett is a short drive east. Being this high, the weather is the main variable.

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.

The Fountain Inn

Ingbirchworth · S36 7GJ

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.

The Dog and Partridge, Flouch

Flouch · S36 4HH

A stone country inn at Bordhill on the A616 at Flouch, on the Peak District edge between Penistone and the Woodhead pass, with a bar, a restaurant and bed and breakfast rooms. Its own site says children and well-behaved dogs are welcome, and names the Family Room, the Standard Double and the Standard Twin as the rooms dogs may stay in. A footpath built along the main road takes you from the pub to the bridleway down to Langsett Reservoir, which means you can walk from the door without putting the dog on the A616. The Trans Pennine Trail at Dunford Bridge is three miles west.

Ingfield Farm Camping

Ingbirchworth · S36 7GX

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.

95%OFF-ROAD

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.

Millhouse Green · S36 9NS

Stay 8.4 mi SOME LIMITS

Bullace Barn

A stone farmhouse converted into a single self-catering let on Manchester Road at Millhouse Green, two miles up the valley from Penistone, with open-beamed living space and a garden. The Trans Pennine Trail runs along the old Woodhead railway just below the village, and Langsett Reservoir and its woods are a short drive west, so a dog can be walked off the doorstep without touching a main road. The owners' own website says up to two well behaved dogs are welcome and names the Trans Pennine Trail and Langsett as the walks on hand. No dog charge is published and no restriction on which rooms dogs may use.

Smallshaw Cottages

Four barn-conversion self-catering cottages on a working farm above Millhouse Green, two miles west of Penistone, sleeping between two and seven each and nineteen in total if you take the lot. They overlook the Trans Pennine Trail, which you can join on foot from the farm for the six miles up to Dunford Bridge or five miles down to Wortley. The owners publish a full written dog policy rather than a one-line claim, which is worth reading before you book because the conditions are specific. There is a large lawned garden, but it is not enclosed.

95%OFF-ROAD

A two-mile perimeter circuit of a small Yorkshire Water reservoir just north of Penistone, reached off the A629 Huddersfield Road by the Barnsley Trout Club. Most of it is a well-made surfaced path, which makes it one of the few reservoir rounds in this corner of the borough that stays walkable in bad weather; only the last stretch at the shallow north-western head turns rough and wet. There are steps on the circuit, and Yorkshire Water signs a moderately steep ramp as the way round them. The car park is small and there is a picnic area at the dam end.

The Huntsman

Thurlstone · S36 9QW

A stone free house at 136 Manchester Road on the old turnpike above Thurlstone, a regular in the Good Beer Guide with eight real ales and a real fire, and the last decent pint before the moor road climbs to Dunford Bridge. It is a quiet, conversational pub with a garden and no music machine, which suits a dog that has just done ten miles of the Trans Pennine Trail. Food is Thai on Thursday to Saturday evenings plus Sunday roasts, with pork pies and scotch eggs over the bar the rest of the time. The CAMRA branch entry states outright that dogs with well behaved owners are especially welcome; the pub publishes no written policy of its own.

Yorkshire Water's own three-mile circuit from Langsett Barn car park, about four miles south-west of Penistone on the A616. The north shore is an easy path through conifer plantation with the water on your left; the far half climbs onto open moor past the ruined farmstead known as North America, on rocky trail that turns muddy and ices over in winter, before dropping to a bridge over the reservoir inlet and returning along the south shore and over the dam. There are gates throughout and a flight of steps near the end, so it is not a buggy or wheelchair route. Sheep graze the moor above the plantation and the ground is used by nesting birds, which is why the lead request here is not a formality.

The Crystal Palace

Thurlstone · S36 9RH

A large stone pub on Towngate along the back road through Thurlstone, a mile west of Penistone and a natural turning point for anyone walking the Trans Pennine Trail out towards Dunford Bridge. Kibble Brewery has worked out of the former stable block in the car park since 2021, so the beer is brewed on site. There is a real fire, a pool table and a garden, and the car park means you can arrive muddy without walking through town first. CAMRA's Barnsley branch surveyors list it as dog friendly; the pub publishes no policy of its own.

Off-lead allowed

Penistone's own park at Bridge End, immediately behind Tesco on Back Lane and next to the Trans Pennine Trail car park and the skate park. It is a short flat circuit of mown grass, pitches and boundary trees rather than a walk in its own right, but it is the obvious warm-up or wind-down at either end of the Trail, and it is the only lit green space in the town centre. The leisure centre and the showground are a few minutes north-west up Thurlstone Road. Everything longer starts from the same car park.
