What to do and see in Sheffield, England: The Best Outdoor Activities

August 17, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

Sheffield, located in South Yorkshire, England, is both a major industrial city and one of the greenest cities in the UK. TripAdvisor travelers particularly recommend the Sheffield Winter Garden and the Botanical Garden. After dark, you’ll find a lively bar and club scene, a testimony to the town’s large student population.

WOW What a weekend !! If you want to learn some basic navigation skills then come on Will's and Adam's weekend course. Adam was so good at getting his message across, very easy to understand. He initially gave us a 13 point self assessment questionnaire so we all knew the standard we we're at. Out on the hills we learned about orienteering the map correctly, using a compass, contours, recognising landmarks from the map, breaking the route into manageable sections, handrails, catching features and attack points. Pacing and Timing. Overall a great learning weekend, highly recommended. The best I've been on !!

Chancet Wood

Reviewed By Chastravelman - Sheffield, United Kingdom

We love this walk between meadow head and bocking lane. Most of the solid paths are always dry due to the tree cover. It's a really nice walk with a couple of paths that branch off to different exits. There is a lovely stream that flows through the bocking lane side. It's really good for dog lovers and never very busy.
