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

Better in summer, paved paths

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 😈🤫

Highfields Lake is an ornamental lake in the Woodlands wildlife park at Highfields. It is filled by the Pick Burn, which then flows on to join the River Don as Bentley Mill Stream. The lake was originally built by the owners of Woodlands, a country house that lent its name to the model village built for the miners of Brodsworth Colliery. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Highfields_Lake

The Lakeside area is designed to encourage people to use Doncaster Lakeside for a range of activities and there are a variety of trails there. The lake also has natural edges that supports two main reed beds, which play a part in maintaining healthy water conditions. The reed beds are important habitats for water birds, especially at nesting time.

More than 200 bird species have been recorded visiting Hatfield and Thorne Moor. Winter visitors include whooper swans, pink-footed geese, hen harrier, and short-eared owls. From March-July a very special summer visitor is the diminutive woodlark and also oystercatcher, lapwing, ringed plover and great crested grebe can be spotted around the lakes. Badger Corner Lake is a special place to watch your favourite birds.

Cusworth Hall was built between 1740 and 1744 by local landowner William Wrightson. It's a grade 1 listed building managed by Doncaster Council. The Cusworth Hall Museum is free and open Fridays and Sundays from 10:00 - 15:00. The parkland is open all year with onsite paid parking open dawn till dusk. There is a cafe and microbrewery in the buildings around the house.
