This walk, is part of 'The Sheffield Round Walk' which I've done several times. Sheffield has several walks, you can purchase maps from the Tourist Office which is situated on Surrey Street in the city centre, between The Winter Gardens, and The Graduate public house. Also, booklets are available to buy from Waterstones book shop, which is in Orchard Square, just off of Fargate. One of the benefits of Sheffield, is the ease of access to the Peak District, and other walks. Take a bus from the city centre in most of the directions, 30 - 40 mins, you're in the middle of the countryside.
The Sheffield Round walk which I mentioned earlier, is a 14 kilometre marked out walk that's been made to end where it begins, in fact making it a 'round' walk. So, you could in fact, have the starting and finishing point at one location anywhere on the walk. There are couple of pubs along the way The Porter (Ecclesall Road) , The Norfolk Arms (Ringinglow), and The Water Tower (Hemsworth Road), but make sure that you take sandwiches, because it's a long gruelling walk. Some of it is quite steep, as Sheffield 'IS' built on seven hills, so in parts the topography and even the roads, are not kind to pedestrians. Toilet wise, there are toilets in Endcliffe Park, the pubs I've mentioned, and maybe a garden centre/pub on Abbeydale Road in Dore. Other than that, when nature calls, there are plenty of secluded areas to relieve yourself if necessary. Sheffield Round Walk is all within the confines of western Sheffield, though some of the areas are so lush with trees and vegetation that you wouldn't believe that you're anywhere near a city.
Loved the little clip, well-done.
Looks like a loverly walk I must give it a try a huge like from me.
It was absolutely gorgeous, will be lovely at this time of year too!
