Ingbirchworth, Dunford Bridge & Thurgoland

About

Ingbirchworth, Dunford Bridge and Thurgoland occupy the upper Don valley in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley. The area is centred on two upland reservoirs, Ingbirchworth and Winscar, with lanes and public footpaths linking fields, moor edge and village streets. River channels, drystone walls and stone buildings record the area's rural and industrial past; old mill sites and converted barns sit alongside working farms. The settlements are compact and sited close to the water catchment that feeds the Don valley system.

Local life revolves around village facilities, community halls and a handful of pubs, with walking, angling and birdwatching common at the reservoirs and along valley tracks. Dunford Bridge takes its name from the crossing where lanes meet the valley; Thurgoland has a linear street pattern beside the river. Short stretches of moorland above the reservoirs give onto long-distance routes but the most used access is the network of rights of way between the villages, linking people to local schools, clubs and services within Barnsley borough.
