Ulley Reservoir Near Whiston South Yorkshire UK 2017
Giving visual access to those less abled to physically navigate the valleys and hills of rural England, Scotland and Wales.
The reservoir was built in 1871 by damming the brooks of Ulley and Morthen, to provide the town of Rotherham with approximately 180 million gallons (820 million litres) of drinking water per year. There are two main ponds; the larger one is used for angling and dinghy sailing, and the smaller one is now a nature reserve. The dam is an earth embankment made of a clay core and earth filled shoulders. In 1969 the dam wall was built up by 6.6 feet (2.0 m) with plastic concrete and relevelled. The spillways and overflow are made of ashlar pitching set on concrete. It is 41.3 feet (12.6 m) in height with a slope of 12.7 degrees, with two lateral overflow stepped spillways. The reservoir covers an area of 35 acres (14 ha) and is about 46 feet (14 m) deep.
In the 1980s it was decided that it was no longer needed for water supplies and was sold to Rotherham council for £1. The council turned the venue into the centrepiece of Ulley Country Park, with the water hosting sailing and fishing. The reservoir and the surrounding country park are a haven for a variety of wildlife. Over 150 species of flowering plants have been recorded in the park, creating an abundance of both insects and butterflies. The bird species include; mallard, tufted duck, little grebe, great crested grebe, coot, moorhen, dragonfly, kingfisher, grey heron, swallow, swift, house martin and kestrel.

My walk around Ulley Country Park (Part 1)
This video is about me completing a nice walk around Ulley Country Park on another lovely sunny day. This is just one of a series of weekly walks I'm doing as part of the exercise, I'm completing in order to help lose my excess weight.
This is another place I've never been before and was one 20 minutes from Sheffield by car. It ended up being a nice little walk.

Ulley Country Park
On Sunday 30th June 2019 we decided to go for a gentle walk around Ulley Country Park in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. I had driven past it a couple of times and thought it might be worth a visit, and by chance there also happened to be an arts festival taking place!
As we arrived we saw a number of arts and craft stalls set up, with people were getting into boats on the reservoir a few metres away. There were a number of common blue damselflies zooming around the reeds next to the pier. The waters were so clear we could see the fish at the bottom.
We passed a large group of people under a marquee warming up their vocals ready for some classic Abba tunes. This added a wonderful and unexpectedly lively atmosphere to the proceedings as we watched baby coots being fed by their mother or father.
We strolled around the reservoir and witnessed a couple of Great Crested Grebe's diving to find food for their chicks. We then passed the conservation area which, unfortunately, had been partially burned by vandals.
As we headed back to the car park we were serenaded with the lovely tones of Abba's I Have a Dream. This was a beautiful way to end the visit. If you fancy a quick and easy walk round a reservoir with your dog, then Ulley Country Park is the place for you!
LIST OF BIRDS SEEN:
Carrion Crow, Magpie, Great Tit, Collared Dove, Woodpigeon, Mallard, Pied Wagtail, Mute Swan, Coot, Moorhen, Great Crested Grebe.

Ulley Reservoir, South Yorkshire, UK mountain bike ride
I’m getting a taste for this mountain bike lark! This is another ride that utilizes the Cuckoo Trail and the Trans-Pennine Trail in the first part of the ride before heading off towards Rother Valley Country Park, Ulley Reservoir and Treeton Dyke.
I was happy to reach Endcliffe Park in Sheffield (there’s a café there, where I stopped for lunch), and then in the afternoon headed for the Peak District before looping towards home, both tied and very muddy!

WAS THIS SPIRIT AWARE OF THEIR OWN DEATH? | Ulley Reservoir, Rotherham UK | Paranormal Investigation
For this investigation I investigated the Ulley Resivour in Rotherham UK and the results are very interesting indeed.
The haunted history states:
During the late 19th century conditions in asylums were poor. The patients were treated brutally, by having what was considered to be ground braking experiments conducted upon them. However this made their conditions much worse. A ghost is alleged to haunt the bridge at Ulley reservoir of a psychopath who escaped from a local lunatic asylum in the early 1900s. He apparently killed himself by falling from the bridge into the reservoir and drowning, the spirit of him is said to be seen running around the roads and paths right up until this day.
I feel I made contact with a Spirit that was aware of their own death. Let me know what you think in the comments.
