The RSPB Old Moor nature reserve is 220 acres of wetland nature reserve which is home to some of the finest and rarest birds in Britain. Here, you can expect to find bitterns, lapwings, redshanks, avocets and golden plovers, as well as tress sparrows and willow tits. Located in the Dearne Valley, the area was once known for its coal mining and industry. Since the closure of the mines in 1993, the area has been transformed into a nature paradise. The visitor center and cafe are open daily 9.30am - 5pm whilst the reserve is open until 8pm. Entrance for adults costs £5.

The Transpennine Trail runs through RSPB wetlands so it’s a great place to visit by bike. It has a really good visitors centre and cafe too.
