Thrybergh Country Park, South Yorkshire

Advantages: Lots Of Wildlife, Free Entry
Disadvantages: Footpaths Can Get Messy

Thrybergh Country Park lies approximately 3 miles to the North West of Rotherham Town Centre and about 9 miles to the West of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire and is one of the largest Country Parks in the region. At the centre of this Park lies a Reservoir, created in 1880 to supply Water to Doncaster and the surrounding area. However throughout its history this Reservoir never met the demands that were put on it, largely due to leakage from the reservoir floor. During the 1940's this Reservoir was producing 490,000 gallons of Water a day, but losing 100,000 gallons of this every day. By the 1960's it was only producing 350,000 gallons a day, but still losing 100,000 gallons every day, so it no longer became commercially viable. In September 2000 Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council purchased Thrybergh reservoir from Yorkshire ...

Review of Thrybergh Country Park, South Yorkshire

Ulley Country Park

Advantages: Tranquil, free, easily accessible
Disadvantages: Can get crowded at popular times

Ulley reservoir lies approximately 10 miles (16 Km) to the east of Sheffield in South Yorkshire. This reservoir and its surrounding area of woodland opened as a country park in 1986 although the reservoir itself was created during the 1870's to provide a fresh supply of drinking water to Rotherham. By the early 1980's Ulley Reservoir was no longer providing water for Rotherham and so it was sold by Yorkshire Water to Rotherham Borough Council for the token sum of £1, with the purpose of creating the Country Park that we see today. Ulley Country Park now covers an area of around 33 acres. This is an area that I know very well. As a child I used to play around here and in those days it was the only local reservoir where sailing took place. It is still the home of the Ulley Sailing Club but nowadays the newer Rother Valley Country Park ...

Free Parking at THE PARK INN

Advantages: Location for Goose Fair or Polish Club
Disadvantages: Dide entrance for Wheel Chairs, makes them feel 2nd class.

We had a Family Birthday to attend, Russ's 50th. The idea was that Katherine was organising Russ's 50th but did not let on to him who and how many were attending. So some of the Family were coming up from Peterborough and would need accomadation. The function was being held at The Polish Club on Sherwood Rise Nottingham. So i went onto www.hotelscomparison.com to look for hotels. When THE PARK INN came up there could only be one choice as this was about a two min stroll from the Polish Club. The site I booked thru was BOOKING.COM. Prices were £67 for a Double Room with Breakfast. Double Room only £41.25 (Non refundable) Had a chat with those coming, said not too botherered about Breakfast as we would prob have an early Sunday lunch before they started back. So Booked 5 Doubles at £41.25. On confirmation it ...
