Great spot for a quick loop while doing off-road riding, the lake links up really well to some nice singletrack and Pit top runs

The place name Firbeck is thought to derive from a wood streamlet, or beck of the Frith.

The first reference dates from 1482, when it was one of a number of churches placed under the ecclesiastical authority of York by Archbishop Thomas Rotherham. At this time the church was dedicated to St Peter but the dedication was changed much later in history, possibly to distinguish it from the nearby church of St Peter at Letwell. The old church was demolished in 1820, and rebuilt by the Galley-Knight family, who owned the Firbeck Estate from the late 18th century to the mid 19th century. Further work took place in 1844, when a north aisle was added to house the organ and the vestry. Finally, in 1900, a new tower was built to replace the one built in 1820. The church has several fine stained glass windows and interesting hatchments and monuments, including some to the St Leger family. Anthony St Leger was the founder of the famous race in 1776 and the original racecourse was in an oval field above the village near the St Leger’s home, Park Hill Hall.

The pond has a duck house and a beehive.

The Church of St Peter is found at the west end of the village of Letwell, near Rotherham, in South Yorkshire. The church was built around 1375 by John Mauleverer, but has been substantially altered several times. Much of the church was later rebuilt in 1820, at the expense of Henry Gally Knight FRS, the owner of Firbeck Hall, but was largely destroyed by fire a few decades later. The tower, along with the vestry are all that remain of the church following a fire which occurred in 1867. The fire was inadvertently started by one Harry Radley, who was sexton at the time. In response to complaints from the parishioners that they were too cold, he had over-stoked the coal-fired boiler which led to the fire. The church today consists of the 14th century tower with a Victorian nave and apse. It is Grade II* listed.

An octagonal red-brick 18th century dovecote, which was restored by villagers in the 1980s.

Langold Lake, or lakes, are in a line from the south-west to the north-east 1.9 Km long and 166 metres wide at its greatest, and a dry lake bed lies further north-east. A wooded landscape surrounds the lakes to the east and north, the Costhorpe Plantation (east and south-east) and Dyscar Wood (north). The woodlands are ash and wych elm woodlands, albeit with the cover of wych elm now much reduced because of Dutch Elm Disease. Yew is common throughout the woods along with pendunculate oak and silver birch and of note is the occurrence of hornbeam, with several small trees in the Doncaster Road Plantation.
