Important Notice
Activities like swimming, paddle boarding, and other water sports are not allowed at Worsbrough Reservoir. The Barnsley and District Amalgamated Angling Society have access to the site for fishing, and anyone interested in this should contact them directly.
These rules are in place to keep people safe while using the area and to protect the animals and plants that live around the edges of the reservoir. Wildlife habitats can be easily disturbed by these activities, and safety risks can arise from sharing the water between different uses. This policy helps make sure the reservoir remains a safe and peaceful place for both nature and visitors.
