    Sheffield Round Walk

    Posted by annie65115 8 October 2010

    This signposted circular walk around the rural edge of south-west Sheffield takes you through ancient woodlands and parks where blazing autumnal colours are exchanged in spring for sheets of bluebells. These woods once supplied charcoal to Sheffield's fledgling industries and are full of history - a 17th century grinding works, disused millponds teeming with wildlife, the remains of the 12th century Beauchief Abbey. A more recent addition is an alpaca farm on moorland at the highest point of the walk! Look out for dippers and kingfishers in the rivers and enjoy an icecream or coffee at one of the small cafes along the route. 14 miles in its entirety - but can easily be broken into smaller segments.
