The boathouse, Newmillerdam
Newmillerdam is a small
village in the county
of West Yorkshire, England
, near
Wakefield
, although the name more usually refers to the area
of lake and country park adjacent to the village of
Newmillerdam.
Nearby lies Kettlethorpe Hall, an 18th century mansion built by the
Pilkington family. It has now been converted into two separate
houses. Chevet Hall, another mansion nearby built by the
Pilkingtons, was bulldozed in the 1960s, in despite of massive
outcry from locals.
Seckar Woods nature reserve, located nearby in the more affluent
village of Woolley is an SSSI (
