Lovely walk with an abundance of wildlife really pleasant and a pub to finish 😉
What a lovely walk down by the river with the nature reserve at the other side very calming and such a beautiful place to walk ride a bike and even jog ❤️
Summer walk from the falls up and over the viaduct in search of the banana cave. Good paths, and saw some interesting wildlife. A long walk for younger ones. Some more dangerous paths on Conisborough side. Daewaat
A nice pleasant walk along the canal. Best to park near the Boat Inn pub. There are some spaces just down from the crossing. There's 2 hides for viewing the reserve itself which are accessed from the path. But you can have a much longer stroll along the path either to Doncaster or to Conisbrough viaduct, Denaby Ings and further along the trans Pennine trail. Or you can go in a circuit like i did. Just stick to the trail and don't go over fields. Some steps in places PS I tried to get to where the old rail bridge goes over the road but some boulders have been dropped into the former rail cutting. So guess it's either no go or find another way in
This was my first visit to sprotbrough flash and I really enjoyed the visit. The main path is accessible to wheel chairs and buggies as are the hides and the viewing screen. The main path runs between the river Don and the lake. We decided to come off the main path and cut up through the woods which was beautiful and the path took us up the side of a farmers field and the views from there were beautiful. We took our dog and she really enjoyed it. Dogs must be kept on a lead in certain protected areas of the reserve. The path eventually brings you back out to the boat inn where you can get something to eat and drink. There are many more paths to explore so we will definitely be visiting again. Only downside is the car park is too small but luckily there are a few lay bys to park in. Also no toilets and not enough rubbish bins.
