Reservoir and local nature reserve
The reservoir and its surrounding land have been declared as one of the borough's natural heritage sites in view of its regional importance for nature conservation.
The reservoir contains a variety of coarse fish, and fishing rights are leased to Elsecar Colliery Angling Club. The club has the exclusive right to fish with rod and line in certain parts of the reservoir, and has 29 pegged fishing bays and 15 non-pegged fishing bays for use by club members and other clubs at organised events.
