Langold Country Park was originally planned as a country house and park in the 18th century. The idea was revived in 1818 and although the house was never completed. By the 1890s a lake had been excavated and a weir with a single arch bridge had been constructed. During the early 20th century the area was developed for mining and the park became a leisure facility for the Langold miners, principally for fishing. In 1946 the coal mining industry was nationalised and the National Coal Board expanded the leisure facilities in the park. A lido or swimming pool was rebuilt in the early 1950s and a bandstand was added. In 1968 the mine closed and the park was taken over by the local authority. Mining equipment was moved and children's playgrounds and refreshment facilities were added.

Nice pub alone the canal

Nice for a walk and food in tea rooms or a visit to the museum

Covering 300 acres of parkland and a Local Nature Reserve, the park links into Dyscarr Wood, a Site of Special Scientific Interest recognised as one of the best examples of a limestone ash-wych elm wood in Nottinghamshire. The park itself has woodlands, wildlife and butterfly meadows, grassy area, a lake, play areas, cafe and skate park, making it a great year-round day trip for all.

Cusworth Hall is a good place for a break. They've got a takeaway cafe with a yummy pizza and other refreshments. And a cheeky ride down the hill is so hard to resist 😈🤫

Lovely clear path, lots of nature, easy under foot.

A fantastic area for nature enthusiasts that's rich in bird and wildlife. A mix of open water, wetlands and woodland, it's a year-round treat for any nature lover.

A couple of lookout areas along the track where you can spot an array of bird and wildlife. which have seating as well as bins to dispose of any litter while on the trail. Get a good look over the lake.

Picturesque ride around the lakes

Can be reached by families and experts very easily most good tracks or tarmac, can be linked into numerous flat cycle routes.Bird and insect watches paradise.

This is a stretch of 'dutch-stye' surfaced and lit cyclepath that links loversall to the iPort and Amazon distribution centre. At the moment it's linked to muddy, unsurfaced bridleway, so it's great for a recreational rides but, if you're a road rider, the roads that link to it are busy trunk roads. I hope that Doncaster council plan to link this up with other surfaced paths to make it good for commuters to use in the future.
