A Hidden Gem with Outdoor Adventures

Nestled in the peaceful village of Ingbirchworth, The Fountain is perfectly placed for exploring the stunning South Yorkshire countryside and the characterful towns and cities that surround us. Whether you’re visiting for a relaxing weekend, celebrating a special occasion, or just passing through, there’s plenty to see and do in the local area.

Step outside and you’re moments away from scenic footpaths, rolling fields, and beautiful reservoirs. Ingbirchworth Reservoir is just a short walk from the pub and offers a tranquil loop ideal for a peaceful stroll or dog walk. A little further afield, you’ll find walking and cycling trails across the Pennines and into the Peak District National Park.
