Newmiller Dam is the lake created by the dam for the new mill :-) The village is called Newmillerdam as in New Mill on the Dam.
The dam was built to provide a lake and therefore power to the mills owned by the Pashley family just south of Wakefield.
The lake and surrounding area is now a nature reserve owned and managed by Wakefield Council.
The lake has a well surfaced path all around it, suitable mostly for pushchairs and wheelchairs as well as kids on bikes. It's a popular place and fun for a short walk.

I used to come here as a kid and it's good to see that there are still lots of kids visiting the area. Due to it's relatively flat ground and minimal stones pushchairs can be used to navigate around the waters. There are disabled parking spots and wide entrances and exits to the paths so wheelchair users are also able to visit this lovely area.

More adventurous explorers may wish to go off track and go into the woodland (unfortunately, this isn't a wheelchair option do to steps going up into the woods) where you can find walking tracks, cycling tracks (which I think may be part of Wakefield on Wheels (WoW)) and a gnome finding track for the little ones.
