로더 밸리 호수 최고의 러닝 경로

excellent trail

Great in the summer not for a swim though, loads of activities to do

It’s okay to cross during the day but it’s badly lighted

There are a number of lakes in the Rother Valley Country Park. This is one of the smaller lakes on the northern side of the park and it is connected to the others via well-maintained paths, making it easy to explore the area on foot.

Opened in 1892 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, Killamarsh Central had two platforms, each with a timber building and a large canopy. The station closed to the public in 1963 when local services on the Great Central were discontinued. The platforms and sidings remained in use for goods traffic until 1965.

The park was formerly a mixture of meadows and marshy bullrush beds before the open cast excavation started. At the eastern side of the lake stands the Bedgrave Mill courtyard, where the visitor centre is located displaying the flood defence map and the original mill mechanism "flour into grain" exhibition from when it was a water mill. There is also a craft centre and "The Stables" cafe.

Bridges over the River Rother.

It replaces a brick bridge on what was originally the Great Central Railway and creates a direct route between Staveley and the Trans Pennine Trail as part of the Chesterfield Canal Restoration
