Thrybergh Country Park Campsite

Alan Rogers Review of Thrybergh Country Park Campsite

Thrybergh Country Park Campsite is a peaceful and scenic site on the outskirts of Rotherham. There are Stately Homes, Castles, Peak District walks, Trout fishing, Soft play, Kids' bike trail, Two-mile footpath and Café all close by. The site is based inside a large, wooded recreation area managed by the local council. It has 25 touring pitches. Barbecues are permitted on site and shops and supermarkets for all your essential feasting and snacking requirements are a 10-minute drive away in Rotherham. Should you feel like a break from self-catering, there’s a café and an ice-cream parlour in the park and a handsome spread of eateries and takeaways in town. Near as you are to the urban attractions of South Yorkshire, you’ll feel right out in the woods at Thrybergh Country Park Campsite. Do take the two and a half-mile trail round the lake at sunset, when there’s a chorus of birdlife bedding down for the night.

It’s a 15-minute drive to the RSPB Dearn Valley Old Moor nature reserve, a mix of meadows, reedbeds and grasslands inhabited (or visited) by the likes of lapwings and kingfishers, barn owls and egrets. Rotherham’s Clifton Park Museum (10 minutes) gives an entertaining overview of the town’s industrial heyday, topped off with a park containing rollercoasters and other family attractions. Many of the area's big houses were built thanks to big business and heavy industry. Kelham Island Museum (25 minutes) tells the story of Sheffield and its steel; you can discover the science behind it at the Magma Science Adventure Centre back in Rotherham, described as a ‘hands-on, feet-in, full-on’ science experience and aimed at younger visitors. For further peak explorations, and the classic stuff like trips up Mam Tor and down the Blue John Mines, it’s an hour to Castleton.
