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.

A small Wood, but a little gem, very pretty , beautiful trails alongside Anston Brook, tunnels under the railway & bridges over the Brook. Ancient woodland around a gorge cut through the Limestone ridge during the last Glacial period. Lots of very old trees growing precariously out of the stone sides of the gorge

Small elusive rock cave in the escarpment, just below the path. You will find it from the Top path via the semi-circle track. Supposedly haunted, it's popular with ghosthunters in the night. The cave was excavated in the 1960's which revealed ancient flint tools from the ice age and animal bones from animals such reindeer and hyena 12,000 years ago - That's Ten Thousand Years BC!

You have to drop off the path to the left to see this site.

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!
