The incredible West Yorkshire nature reserve is home to a vast central lake surrounded by surfaced paths and coniferous woodland.
Once called Thurstonhaugh, an old Norse name, the area became known as New Mylle on Dam when a new corn mill was built around 1285.
During the colder months the park has become a place of beauty with frost dusting the plants and the frozen lake reflecting the light.
Friends of Newmillerdam Country Park and Wakefield Tree Wardens help Countryside Officers in maintaining the park, with their recent activities including the construction of a new boardwalk and the installation of way-marked trails.
The park is open all year round, with the site’s car park open 8am to 6pm Monday to Sunday.
Explore nine photos of the picturesque park, taken last year by Express reader Marta Brown.
