Days out
Dearne Valley - Old Moor Barnsley and Rotherham
Chase a butterfly in our meadow blooming with wildflowers, watch for the blue flash of a Kingfisher or borrow a pond dipping kit to see what creatures lurk beneath.
Brave the cold and you’ll be rewarded with a brilliant show during winter, from the swoops and swirls of Starling murmurations to the glistening frosty leaves and golden light.
Whether you’re looking for unforgettable wildlife encounters, gentle walks or cosy lunch spots, you can enjoy days out every day of winter on our larger reserves. You’ll go home with memories that will last a lifetime.
