Clifton Park and Museum

Clifton Park was originally the private ground of Clifton House, and opened as a public park in 1891 with house opening as a museum in 1893. The park is now the home to one of the region's biggest and best play areas, with the Water Splash, toddler zone, sand play, and plenty for more adventurous kids including a giant tower slide and BMX/Skate plaza. The Museum offers a flavour of how the Walkers used to live as well as allowing you to discover the fascinating history of the Rotherham Borough. The park and museum are both free to visit. You can also participate in a wide range of activities throughout the year, some of which are chargeable. Whilst visiting make time to visit the Granary Cafe for a light lunch or a slice of cake and a refreshing drink. There is also a gift shop to buy your souvenirs.

Clifton Park

Reviewed By jessicabR9727KP

This place is fantastic, so much to do for such little cost, the kids were amazed! Bungee jumping, donkey rides, face painting, arts & crafts, huge mini golf, rides, adventure park, water park (fountains and paddling area), ride around the park on a train, free museum. So much to do, something for everyone and well suited for all ages up to age 12. For 4 of us it cost me £25 and this included 5 rides, ice cream and drinks. It can be as expensive as you make it. Definitely worth a visit ????????????????????????

Wentworth Garden Centre

Situated in sixteen acres of historic walled and landscaped gardens, Wentworth Garden Centre is arguably the biggest and most attractive centre in the North Midlands. Its setting, in the former Kitchen, Italian and Japanese gardens of Wentworth Woodhouse is unique.We are not a member of any buying group or garden centre chain. We are a long standing, family owned independent and as such care passionately about our customers and their satisfaction. It's a policy that has seen the centre evolve from a tiny village operation into one of the largest garden centres in Yorkshire today.

Roche Abbey

Set in a peaceful and picturesque wooded valley, Roche Abbey was founded in 1147, with stonework dating back to around the 1180's. Thanks to Capability Brown who landscaped the area in the 18th Century, we now boast the most complete foundations of any Cistercian monestary in the country. Although most of the excavated ruins are low lying, the transcepts still stand to their original height. Roche Abbey is closed during the winter months, re opening again March 2015. The woodland walks around the area are accessible and parking is still available.

Our visit to this stately home was the highlight of our holiday in North Yorkshire. Underneath the scaffolding there was much to see, with the helpful commentary of an excellent guide. We did the Wentworth and Garden Tour which took about 2 1/2 hours - the beautiful weather set the gardens off well and we would highly recommend those interested in historic architecture to pay a visit.
