Welcome to Scout Dike

Scout Dike is a small reservoir located in South Yorkshire, England. It is situated near the village of Cawthorne and is a popular spot for fishing, walking, and birdwatching. The reservoir was created in the 19th century to supply water to the nearby town of Barnsley. Today, it is managed by the Barnsley Angling Association and is stocked with a variety of fish, including carp, bream, and roach.

The surrounding area of Scout Dike is a haven for wildlife, with a variety of birds, mammals, and insects calling it home. Visitors can spot kingfishers, herons, and even ospreys fishing in the reservoir. The surrounding woodland is home to a variety of mammals, including foxes, badgers, and deer. The area is also rich in wildflowers, with bluebells, primroses, and cowslips carpeting the woodland floor in the spring.

Scout Dike is a popular destination for walkers, with a number of footpaths and trails winding through the surrounding countryside. The Trans Pennine Trail, a long-distance footpath that runs from coast to coast across northern England, passes close by the reservoir. The area is also popular with cyclists, with a number of quiet country lanes and off-road trails to explore. Whether you're a keen angler, a nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy a walk, Scout Dike is well worth a visit.
