Meet at the War Memorial near The Dam Inn
Newmillerdam is located on the main A61 Barnsley Road on the left hand side as you leave Wakefield towards Barnsley. We will meet at the War Memorial which is on the left just before the road bridge over the dam. There is a small car park here but if this is full, there is a larger car park further on over the bridge on the same side of the road which is pay and display (postcode WF2 6QQ). The car park is free at the time of writing, but please take some coins just in case the council decide to start charging again.
Buses 59 and 59a pass on Barnsley Road. Take the Newmillerdam (N1) or Newmillerdam (N2) stop.
