Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Dovestone reservoir

"Temple Newsam House, a magnificent 40-room Tudor-Jacobean mansion, is a must-see when in Leeds. Set in a sprawling 900-acre park on the city's outskirts, it's famous as the birthplace of Lord Darnley, the husband of Mary Queen of Scots. Interior highlights include a variety of Old Master paintings, as well as furniture by Thomas Chippendale and collections of Leeds creamware and silver."

"The Tudor-Jacobean mansion needs little introduction but its 1,500 acres of surrounding parkland with lakes, formal gardens and woods are worth more than a mention. It's accessed off Selby Road, LS15 0AE."

"A Grade-II listed site, the beautiful 19-acre Sheffield Botanical Gardens were established in 1836 and showcase more than 5,000 species of plants. This is a lovely spot for a stroll, especially in the spring and summer, when many of the plants are in full bloom. Highlights include the glasshouses, also Grade II-listed, with temperate plants from Australia, Asia, and South Africa; the Victorian Garden; and the Four Seasons Garden, which is colorful at any time of year."

"A glass pavilion glitters under the sun, as does the emerald grass beneath your toes. As you look through the Botanical Garden’s leafy arch, you’ll see ancient trees and flowering bushes spread out. It’s ideal for some tranquil time spent outdoors."

"Endcliffe Park is 15 hectares of land in the south west corner of Sheffield. Listed on English Heritage's National Register of Historic Parks & Gardens, Endcliffe Park has both parkland and woodland to enjoy, as well as two ponds. The park was opened in 1887 to commemorate the Jubilee of Queen Victoria and, as such, you can see two monuments in the park dedicated to the Queen - a statue and an obelisk."

Opened in 1887 in celebration of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee, Endcliffe Park is a much-loved​ feature of Sheffield’s landscape. Offering flat paths perfect for running, the park is a great place to spend an afternoon with a picnic."

"Open every day of the year, from morning until nightfall – and completely free to visit – the vibrant Fletcher Moss Park and Botanical Garden in Didsbury is a lovely place to spend an afternoon. In spring, the space comes alive with a burst of colour from its various wild flowers – with deep purples and warm oranges. It’s home to a host of wildlife, too – including a wide variety of birds."

"In the Didsbury area of South Manchester you’ll find Fletcher Moss Park and Botanical Gardens. Autumn in Fletcher Moss Park. The park is famous for its amazing rock gardens, where a variety of interesting plants and shrubs thrive in microclimates within the shelter provided by the rocks."

"Down the River Bollin, Riverside Park is north of the town centre and merges with West Park. Despite being surrounded by the town, Riverside Park feels remote and has two big parcels of woodland, along with a community orchard, butterfly meadow and wildflower meadow. This last area is grazed by docile longhorn cattle to help stop invasive grass species."

"It is on the eastern side of the centre of Glossop and fringes onto the Conservation Area of Old Glossop. There is a car park at Corn Mill and on-street parking is available nearby. Again, it's not technically a theme park, but with this much going on for free, it deserves a mention."

"Buile Hill Park is, for many, the pillar of the Salford community. Situated in Seedley and Pendleton, it is the largest park in the city, and also the second oldest behind Peel Park. The park as we know it today was opened in 1903 when, what was known as Seedley Park, and the grounds of Buile Hill house were joined together by the closure of the ‘dog entry’ path which had separated them."

"Buile Hill Park is a Grade II listed public park and hall and is the second oldest park in the city, after Peel Park. The park is also the largest in the city, as well as one of the most popular. Buile Hill Park has a significant history, with close links to the artist LS Lowry, as well as being used as a military base in both world wars."

", a hybrid club-restaurant-hotel, the Twisted Burger Company specialises in melt-in-the-mouth, out-of-this-world burgers which are sure to entice even the most reluctant burger eater. Burgers range from meat to chicken to vegetarian, and are all characterised by an array of extravagant toppings and sides. Highlights from the dazzling menu include the Drop It Like It’s Hot, with spicy refried beans, Monterey Jack cheese, hot sauce and a house BBQ sauce, or the Rasher’s Delight, the UK’s first bacon burger featuring a double bacon patty, coleslaw and dressing."

"The Twisted Burger Co. is served at both The Harley (until 4am!) and The Riverside, specialising in slightly bonkers, and rather massive, burgers as well as messy, delicious fries, shakes and sides. Their menu is music-themed and ever changing."

"Newly revamped by the True North brewery, the Punch Bowl has been given a new lease of life. The usual great offering from a True North pub. Dogs welcome in the pub, but not the restaurant area."

"A cosy little corner bar with over 20 taps and plenty of drink to choose from for fans of craft beer. Outdoor seating available"

"This bright, rustic Victorian pub not only does arguably some of the best roasts in Sheffield, but is infamous for selling some of the best craft beers from around the world. The Broadfield is a treasure trove of ale with a frequently rotating range of bottled and canned beers, along with 8 craft kegged beers and 8 guest real ales. Situated in the heart of Sheffield’s Antique Quarter, The Broadfield has a long history dating back to the 19th century and has firmly secured its place on the Sheffield ale scene."

"The Broadie as it’s known is a proper Northern pub serving proper Northern grub. Serving a Pork Joint roast for only £10.95, the Gastro pub winners of the Eat Sheffield Awards 2015 take great pride in both the food and drink they serve here at The Broadfield. They put a lot of effort in to making sure they offer the highest quality at a reasonable price."

"If you’re going to be famous for anything, make it pies and beer. The Broadfield is an excellent spot for proper grub. Dogs are welcome, but only in the bar side and beer garden and not the restaurant, but don’t worry, you can still eat in those areas."

"Interesting features include some memorable stained glass windows - one depicting the Parable of the Widow’s Mite and one window commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. A 17th century organ case - the present one was rebuilt in 1885; carved choir stalls - one with a carved pelican representing the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, and a finely painted column in the centre of the South Chapel in memory of those from the parish who lost their lives in the First World War. Reverend Patrick Duckworth will be pleased to talk to school parties – with the enclosed garden area providing a perfect spot for children to eat their packed lunch."
