Treeton Dyke
This circular walk takes you around Treeton Dyke and woods in Rotherham.
The walk starts on the southern side of the lake. From here you can pick up a footpath heading along the eastern side of the water and the adjacent Hail Mary Wood. The trail heads towards Treeton before returning on the western side where there are more paths on Orgreave Common and the Forgemasters Tip.
It's easy to extend the walk by heading a short distance east to visit the neighbouring Ulley Country Park. There's another nice waterside trail around the Ulley Reservoir here.
