Newmillerdam is a local favourite. It offers a little something for everyone. From woodland trails, picnic spots, feeding the ducks, kids adventure trails, bird spotting and creepy crawley hunts.
Newmillerdam features on our Wakefield Story Trails post. The fabulous Gnome Roam through the woodland is a local kids favourite, featuring gnome sculptures throughout the forest. Download the activity sheet here.
And don’t forget it is a fabulous place to feed the ducks.
So get your wellies on, get muddy and enjoy the great outdoors. Paths suitable for pushchairs and bikes, it is likely to be muddy in Autumn & Winter months though so be prepared!
We love that there is often an ice cream van in the car park.
Getting there
Newmillerdam is easy to find when following the postcode and has a good sized carpark. Car park charges apply. Alternative road side parking is available up the hill past the hotel, beware this is busy road.
