A little removed from the everyday, but closer than you think.
Lake Y, Hayfield Lane, Auckley, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, DN9 3NP. Free parking on site, and the lake is a ninety-second walk from the car.
Follow Hayfield Lane past the golf club. The entrance is signposted on the left, immediately before the bridge.
However you travel.
Times are typical, not promises. The M18 does what it likes on a Friday.
About 10 minutes from Junction 3 of the M18. Take Great Yorkshire Way towards Yorkshire Wildlife Park. At the roundabout take Hurst Lane, then left at the lights onto Hayfield Lane. Lake Y is about a mile on the left. Complimentary parking.
Doncaster Railway Station is about 7 miles. A 15–20 minute taxi from the rank outside the station.
The airport is on the other side of Hayfield Lane. Ten minutes door to door when it is running.
A twenty-minute walk or a five-minute ride along the lane. Bike racks are by reception, under cover.
Park, check in, and the rest looks after itself.
Main entrance signs. The car park is on your right as you enter. Complimentary parking, including two accessible bays.
Members and guests access by QR code, or call reception on 01302 201 436. Trial pass holders check in by name at reception.

There are two accessible bays in the main car park. From those bays it is about 80m to reception, 100m to The Wheelhouse and 110m to the lake — no stepped or steep route, and currently no seating or rest points along these paths. The Wheelhouse has no steps. The run track is not accessible. There is no accessible changing room or accessible showers yet. Where something is not accessible, we say so — email enquiries@lake-y.co.uk before you visit.
Ask a person. They’ll answer.
