Beschrijving
Orgreave Lakes are a remnant of the coal industry. Its mixture of river, lakes, open ground and woodland of various ages. The lakes are home to wildfowl throughout the year, including Dodaars, Grote Zaagbek, Brilduiker, Tafeleend, Kuifeend and Smient. Typical waders at the lake edges include Kievit, Oeverloper, Bontbekplevier and Scholekster. Many other species can turn up during migration like Kemphaan, Drieteenstrandloper, Geoorde Fuut and Zwarte Stern. Along the River Rother, look out for IJsvogel and Blauwe Reiger. Surrounding Orgreave Lakes is extensive rough grassland where a variety of small birds may be found including Veldleeuwerik, Graspieper and Kneu. Hedgerows and areas of scrub and young woodland also support a range of smaller birds, including Goudvink, Zanglijster, and Koperwiek and Kramsvogel in the winter months.

Toegang
Access is possible from a number of directions, including from near the sports ground on Washfield Lane in Treeton. At the bottom of this road is the railway line that divides the area in two. To reach Orgreave Lakes, cross the footbridge and continue to another bridge across the River Rother. The lakes are then ahead and to your left and a complete circuit of these is possible (about 2,5 km).
