Rother Valley Country Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rother Valley Country Park is a country park on the border of Sheffield, Rotherham, and Nottinghamshire. It covers 3 square kilometres (740 acres) and has four artificial lakes. The park was officially opened on 27th May 1983, at a cost of £4million. The park aimed to provide an area for recreational pursuits, encourage wildlife to return to the area, and provide a flood protection plan for the areas downstream. When the construction was finished, the lakes were filled with fresh water from Moss Brook (about 2.5km away), due to the fact that the River Rother was so heavily polluted at that time.
