Langold Country Park was originally planned as a country house and park in the 18th century. The idea was revived in 1818 and although the house was never completed. By the 1890s a lake had been excavated and a weir with a single arch bridge had been constructed. During the early 20th century the area was developed for mining and the park became a leisure facility for the Langold miners, principally for fishing. In 1946 the coal mining industry was nationalised and the National Coal Board expanded the leisure facilities in the park. A lido or swimming pool was rebuilt in the early 1950s and a bandstand was added. In 1968 the mine closed and the park was taken over by the local authority. Mining equipment was moved and children's playgrounds and refreshment facilities were added.

Conisbrough Castle is a 12th-century medieval fortification in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, England, known for its imposing keep. The castle was initially built by William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey, following the Norman Conquest. It was later rebuilt in stone, including the 28-meter (92 ft) high keep, by Hamelin Plantagenet. The castle's unique cylindrical keep, supported by six massive buttresses, is a prominent feature of the local landscape.

Covering 300 acres of parkland and a Local Nature Reserve, the park links into Dyscarr Wood, a Site of Special Scientific Interest recognised as one of the best examples of a limestone ash-wych elm wood in Nottinghamshire. The park itself has woodlands, wildlife and butterfly meadows, grassy area, a lake, play areas, cafe and skate park, making it a great year-round day trip for all.

It’s okay in the summer time when they have events on during the winter it’s not worth the time.

Its better in the Summer as they have events in the grounds

Hiking Path goes around the grounds and into the fields. Small car park is available but can get boggy in adverse weather.

Nice little castle that has clean grounds and some disabled parking. Need to go into museum to get a ticket to go closer to the castle.
