Walks in Sheffield and the Surrounding Area

Sheffield is famous for walking. It was a ramblers group from Sheffield who along with their Manchester counterparts organised the infamous trespass onto Kinder Scout, the civil action which was instrumental in ordinary people gaining access to the moors and mountains of Great Britain. Since then more and more of Sheffield folk have enjoyed the freedom of walking in their city and surrounding area which holds many natural treasures. On the southern and western fringes of Sheffield there are marvellous Peak District walks to be enjoyed. The theme here is stunning gritstone edges, heather moors, sumptuous valleys and reservoirs. To the north walks are enjoyed to woodland, upland trails, parks and to lovely towns and villages. Venture into the city and to east and south for industrial trails, parks, gardens and landscaped estates. There are also a number of long distance paths and feature trails in and around the city. I visit Sheffield often, to walk and to see family who live in the Walkley area. So keep looking in. New walks will frequently be added to this library of my favourite Sheffield walks.
