Lovely walk around the lakes. Lots of wildlife to enjoy!
We visited Waverley Lakes on a Saturday morning for a walk. Parking is just in front of residents houses, however there's plenty of space so don't feel too bad! The Lakes are probably about two miles to walk around and are pretty flat which is good. Paths are a mixture of stony, grassy and muddy tracks! We also walked up to the moorland to see Orgreave Colliery Memorial which looks decent. Great walk and well worth a visit if you're in the area. Plenty of different birds in/around the water and we even saw a kestrel.
Lovely place for a walk. Some noise and disruption due to construction of new housing estate and some of the permissive path is closed off but alternative routes are offered.
The place is very beautiful and thanks to the dog lovers who walk their dogs. The whole place is full of dog poop.I request everyone to clean up after their dog poops so that others can walk peacefully there without worrying about stepping on dog poop . This shows how we can make a beautiful place into a dirty place easily 😁😁
Very nice place to take your dog for a walk
