Ulley is a small village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, sitting on the rural edge of the region close to the outer suburbs of Sheffield. It remains a largely residential and agricultural community with a tight‑knit feel, a village hall and an active parish council, and many residents commute to nearby towns for work.
The parish is best known for Ulley Reservoir and the adjoining Ulley Country Park, a 19th‑century reservoir and greenspace popular for walking, birdwatching and informal recreation. The reservoir drew attention in the 2000s over safety concerns and subsequent repair work, and today the park is a valued local amenity that reflects the area's mix of rural character and industrial‑era infrastructure.
