These slopes have been known as the Crags for at least 100 years, although the name on the 1841 Ordnance Survey map is Northcliffe Hills. In ancient times these rocky outcrops were vital to local transport, communication and defence. They provided firm ground for travel and vantage points for surveying the landscape. On a clear day you can see as far as the Derbyshire hills, Emley Moor television mast, Barnsley Town Hall, and the urban skylines of Sheffield and Rotherham. Along the Conisbrough side of the Crags you will find Northcliffe Quarry, which provided limestone to make fertilizer. A tramway known as 'the incline' carried stone to the kilns, and you can still see the remains of the incline if you look carefully. The quarry is now a local nature reserve (LNR) and a site of special scientific interest (SSSI).

Northcliffe Quarry is a former limestone quarry, now a Local Nature Reserve and Site of Scientific Interest, located along the Conisbrough side of The Crags. The quarry was used to extract limestone for making fertilizer, and a tramway, known as "the incline", carried the stone to the kilns, according to Doncaster Council. The quarry is part of The Crags, a rocky outcrop with historical significance for local transport, communication, and defense, according to Doncaster Council.

Spotbrough Weir was used to run a walk mill in the early 18th Century. The mill proceeded cloth, and then ground flint for pottery until it went out of use in the 19th century. Today this is a popular fishing and walking area.

A lovely new area of the country park created by Rotherham council. The idea is to have an area for kids to bird watch and look for nature. It’s got some cool monuments and benches to just sit and enjoy nature. Such a great idea!
