The 40 best free attractions in Sheffield

Firstly, this is a free to enter venue. The botanical gardens are a beautiful piece of serenity within a large city. The gardens are stunning and laid out in a way that enables one to amble around relaxing. There are many varied areas with lots of different themes, all utterly gorgeous. We saw lots of squirrels that are so tame they can be hand fed. We also stopped at the café for a very welcome cup of tea. The gardens are definitely worth a visit.

Great place to visit and free too. We were pleasantly surprised, its really is a hidden gem. The Glass House is full of interesting plants and the gardens are really well maintained. The squirrels were very friendly and entertaining.

The botanical garden is beautiful in autumn, with trees in many shades creating lovely layers of colour. We went in the morning, and the squirrels were very active. Several even came close looking for food, which was really cute.

A great place to get away from it all. Some lovely walks around the gardens, loads of plants and trees (looks lovely). Most plants and trees have labels to help you identify them. There are plenty of seats in all parts of the gardens, some are in lovely quiet places. Spent ages just looking at the plants and listening to the wildlife. There is a cafe and toilets. When I visited the indoor part of the gardens were closed for maintenance. It is free to enter!

These gardens are absolutely beautiful. At certain times of the year, the vivid colours and patterns formed by trees, plants and shrubs are simply amazing. There are so many features in this garden, something for everyone. You can spend quite a lot of time here on a sunny day, enjoying the grounds, visiting the tropical greenhouse, the rock garden, and many more. There are toilet facilities on site. There is paid parking and also a few free spots if you can find one, or park further away and walk. Sheffield Botanical Gardens is a great place to visit, even as a day trip especially Spring time. And it’s free. Thank you Sheffield.

Wonderful place! I had a great day today walking, not crowded, people having picnics.. just a lovely relaxing day surrounded by nature's colours

A wonderful place to relax with family and alone. It's a beautiful view of different corners. There are a large number of different varieties of magnolia here, about 30 species, so it is worth returning here at the end of May. There is also an alley with roses, both old and new varieties. There is a greenhouse with a great number of plants, especially cool cacti, aloe which was planted in 2003 and looks like a tree, there are also banana trees. Admission is free here, but you can make a donation online. Also on the territory there are many interesting tablets with the history of the garden, which will be especially relevant for children in the study of biology and nature in general. There's a café and a parking lot.

Always some interesting temporary exhibitions as well as long term collections. I have been to Feel Good Art Club here which is a lovely relaxed evening. Good spot to spend a bit of time with visiting friends or family.

Close to the Sheffield theatres and accessible from the Sheffield Winter Gardens, the Millenium Gallery is a small but very well curated space with some permanent and some temporary exhibitions all situated to one side of the Gallery. The space also includes a small shopping area with books, prints, jewellery and more for sale. The staff are lovely! Well worth a visit if you are in Sheffield for even a short period.

Millennium Gallery is a small but well curated collection in central Sheffield. We accessed it through the Winter Garden. Entrance is by donation. The gallery is informative and well signed. While our visit wasn’t long (under an hour) it was well worth our time. There is also a lovely gift shop. Exhibits and gift shop both tell some of the history and culture of the city. It was a great stop before seeing a show, as it’s right next to the theatre.

Gorgeous place. Love the botanical garden and the variety of exhibits on display. My personal favourite is the permanent Ruskin collection of natural history works. It’s also fab that they’ve recently introduced a place for local artists to sell their wares, as well as a pop up shop for small independent businesses.

We came to visit the Colour exhibition at the Millennium Galleries. We thought the curation was excellent - there was a great range of art, clothing, oddities and interactive exhibits. The blend of art, philosophy and science to explore colour was really engaging and there was something to appeal to people of all ages. The galleries overall sit in a lovely setting close to the enclosed winter gardens and were a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

It’s so worth visiting The Sykes Gallery Metalwork Collection for the incredible display of Sheffield metalwork. The skill set of Sheffield workers past and present on show is just magnificent. Also the short films made to show the process of metalworking are beautiful… Outstanding.

Entered the Millennium Gallery through the Winter Garden. We managed to view three exhibitions before closing time. My favourite was the Sheffield metal works exhibition. It had a museum feel to it. I’ve attached a few pictures:

Weston Park Museum is a fantastic place to explore the rich history and culture of Sheffield. The museum is well-organized and offers a variety of exhibits that cater to all ages. From archaeological treasures to zoological wonders, there’s something for everyone to enjoy1. The highlights for me were the displays on Sheffield’s industrial past and the impressive art collection, featuring works by local artists like Pete McKee and Joe Scarborough2. The interactive exhibits are particularly engaging, making it a great spot for families with children. The museum is housed in a beautiful historic building, and the surrounding park is perfect for a leisurely stroll before or after your visit. The café offers a nice selection of refreshments, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is that some of the exhibits could use a bit of updating. However, this doesn’t detract from the overall experience. Weston Park Museum is definitely worth a visit if you’re in Sheffield!

The museum isn’t very big, but it’s packed with interesting information about Sheffield. I really enjoyed the Pete McKee exhibition, it was a great experience. One of the highlights for me was the artwork about Castle Market. It brought back memories and captured the spirit of the place beautifully, showing how deeply connected McKee’s art is to local life and history.

An amazing museum free of charge to enter. I always love to go in. There are different exhibitions in each room I really loved the Pete Mckee. The space invaders game took me right back to my childhood along with the pictures. There is a cafe inside or you can eat in the green outdoor park with a picnic. Toilets are inside and a gift shop. There is a donation box in the main entrance. If you can spare a few pennies/pounds it would be greatly appreciated. Lots to be explored

I visited here with my mum and daughter during the summer holidays. All three of us enjoyed looking at the exhibitions. We would recommend, and will return again.

“The Boy with a Leg called Brian” Exhibition by Pete McKee was absolutely fantastic. A must for anybody brought up in Sheffield, especially in the 70’s / 80’s. Highly recommended.

My wife and I came here for the first time yesterday and we were delighted. The museum is modern, spacious and packed full of interesting artefacts from ancient Egypt, natural history, local history and a great gallery. The Pete McKee exhibition is a nostalgic 1970s delight, being both funny and poignant. The café is reasonably priced and clean (and so are the toilets.) All in all, a great place to spend 2-3 hours inside and when you're done, have a stroll around the adjacent park. Definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic free museum with amazing displays. Highly recommend if you are interested in the history of Sheffield and much more!

A wonderful museum detailing the history of steel making and the making of tools and of the cutlery trade in Sheffield. Helpful friendly staff. You can wander at your leisure or have guided tour. No entry charge but donations welcomed. Small car parking further on past the museum entrance. The Museum is a ten minute walk from Shalesmoor blue tram stop.

Nice visit to the museum with the kids, free entrance however donations recommended (cash or card) educational for the kids. They enjoyed looking and learning about the dofferent items on offer. Parking at the back, reasonable prices £1.50 for 2 hours.

A must visit for technology and history buffs when in Sheffield. While the museum is free, donations are welcomed. I spent a good deal of time here just exploring and absorbing the steel industry. Who knew that aside from armoury and steel plating, sheffield was also famous for cutlery and other steel based utensils including pocket knives! Friendly staff just enhanced the whole experience. You also get to see the huge steam engine made for rolling steel and which they turn on allow to run on Thursdays to Sundays. Check the times as I missed seeing it run having visited on Wednesday. Still an amazing site to behold!! Love the visit and I highly recommend it.

This is fantastic if you are an engineer or interested in the history of steel making. Lots of great exhibits the best of which are the large steam engine which you can see running it made me tingle watching it. Also a Crossley engine that turns over showing how these things worked plus plenty more things check out their website. Suggested payment is £5 which is frankly very low for the display on show. You must go

Took my sister from Sweden, we loved the atmospheric museum. So many interesting facts and exhibits. Check days beforehand to see the steam engine in action,it's not working every day. Sorry we missed it. We enjoyed a great coffee in the cafe afterwards.

We went to the Sheffield beer 🍺 festival and had a great time, as well as looking around the museum. Would recommend both. And even tried deep fried pizza.

Amazing, free entry museum, n1 place to visit in Sheffield, nice location as well, very quiet plus you'll find a few pubs near by as well

Lovely place with a variety of animals and a good coffee. dog friendly. Great for a day out. They also do very fun events and workshops so it’s worth checking out what’s on! Also selling plants, manure, eggs etc

What a great little place this is! Totally free to enter (but please tap your card a few times to leave a donation!), a city farm in the heart of Sheffield where the kiddies can see (and touch!) a selection of animals, including ponies, sheep, goats, pigs and bunnies (and a few fussy cats wandering around) We will certainly return on our next trip to Sheffield!

I really love visiting this farm as it feels like a lovely community. The animals always seem really happy and well cared for which is lovely to see, plus it is free entry. The layout is really well designed

Absolutely lovely to have a farm in the middle of the city. Nice coffee shop too.

I went to help volunteer with a recent project. The animals are adorable. The variety of plant species is awesome. The staff are so warm and welcoming to anyone and everyone with a variety of needs. I also used the café which is very fairly priced and the food was lovely. I'll definitely go again.

Great experience, friendly animals, good cafe prices! Having volunteered here for a while now, I love it Derek is the best goat

Heard about this farm for years, finally made a visit and it is awful. Why? Graves park farm up the road, which is also free, is awesome! So it can be done! This place is smelly and dirty. The small animal house with guinea pigs and rabbits shouldn't smell. It's like someone's grotty allotments with junk everywhere. Look at the pic of the blue kids chair I posted and you get the idea. Never going again. True farmers would never keep their animals like this. The chickens smelled so bad!!! Left in less than 10 mins. We went up to Graves park farm instead. Would never recommend to anyone.

It's certainly beautiful, reminds me of something in London canary wharf. But very small, there are beautiful plants and places to sit

A beautiful tropical garden in the heart of Sheffield. The selection of tropical flowers and plants are housed under the incredible structure above. There is a cafe and a few other vendors inside and it’s well worth visiting.

Lovely wee place to visit. Wonderful architecture. Free entry

It is very warm, tropical, inside so when it is cold outside hide over there ha ha

Peaceful during the day, and looks great when lit up for events.

Super relaxing, I took photos here for a competition to show how civil engineering and nature and preserving ecosystems can go hand in hand, and this was perfect. A very calming environment to be, and a charming place in the city centre.

Beautiful indoor garden that's free to walk around. Quite small, but quiet and peaceful 😊🌴

If you love wandering round historical buildings, this is definitely of interest to you. A little 'hamlet' of buildings full of amazing 'scythe ' making history. An introduction video, worksheets for children, small exhibition area and then the hamlet, waterwheel, traction engine and reservoir to see. This is a free entry museum, with a suggested donation of £5 - worth every penny. A cafe/restaurant (independent) on site. Parking (no height barrier) and toilets. Really really friendly and informative guides here. Couldn't be more enthusiastic. Also a great guy making sword blades, again, really informative and friendly. Most certainly bringing my 13 yr old grandson here, he'll love it.

Been wanting to go here for ages. Very interesting detail to what went on here and those who worked here. Some buildings done to how they were and where they worked. Very interesting how it's explained how much they got paid and what coins they used makes you feel very lucky. Trust me well worth a visit with the kids or on your own. Nice cafe too just remember to leave them a donation please as there's no charge to Go around.

Took my nearly two year old niece here with my brother and sister, we all really enjoyed it! Really interesting way to learn about the industrial heritage of the city. There is even a little room of interactive things for children - dressing up clothes, colouring sheets and lots of play tools.

This is a real gem on the outskirts of Sheffield in the beautiful suburb of Millhouses. It gives a fascinating insight into what made Sheffield the city of steel. When you have finished the historic bit the cafe is a real oasis ...I only had coffee but the food I saw on other tables looked delicious. Well worth a visit.

The site looked like the most interesting one in Sheffield so I was very exciting to come here and I wasn’t disappointed. I had a delightful and educating morning with wonderful weather and absolutely amazing staff / volunteers. I came here with absolutely zero knowledge about steel and the process of creating tools and I leave with what I think a reasonably realistic. View of the working conditions.

Surpassed my expectations, a real eye opener. Learnt so much. Need another visit. The staff were so friendly and helpful, this clearly a passion. You can really immerse yourself in the history of this hard and vital industry. No detail is omitted. Though it fell into decline at the turn of the last century it was revived for heritage sake and indeed played meaningful role in the war effort due to the exceptional quality of the metal it produced, not a great quantity (2.5 tons PW) but it was the quality that was important. When you see what the processes were, I think they were working flat out.

Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet is probably unique in that it was an early factory in the Industrial Revolution, but continued to work until it was rescued from demolition by Sheffield Council preserving it as a Living Museum. People can visit and experience something of what happened there over many years. The experience is authentic in that it hasn't been modernised, but it is safe for young and old alike to visit and have an historical experience of Sheffield's Industrial past.

Lovely place for a nice steady saunter around. Some excellent architecture. Plenty of places for refreshment.

Lovely place to sit and relax throughout the year. I love architecture of the gothic town hall in the back drop. Gorgeous! Recently it hosted ‘Sheffield by the Sea’ which had whole host of rides, games, a giant sandpit and a lot more. The food stalls were not that great at this event. Had to go to M & S for picnic items.

Looks like a nice to chill a little bit : )

Beautiful place to sit and relax. Also wonderful fountain for children to play.

Peaceful, especially with the sound of the waterfall... Water fountain great for kids to play, two were there when I was and they had a joy running through trying to avoid the water springs from below. Grass area too, apart from the surrounding many benches. Beautiful building right in front of you. Good as a rest spot as you make your way through the town.

I was wandering around the Peace Gardens and surprisingly found an ice cream truck surrounded by kids and parents. They sell all kind of flavours and I picked strawberries. Not gonna lies, at first I was skeptical of its taste judging the book by its cover, but it was gooooooood. I’ve never tasted such softness of an ice cream and I was definitely amazed by the right amount of sweetness. I am not fond of the kind of sweet that would rot my teeth. And this ice cream clearly worth a second try🤩

It is a splendid building. There could be more seating for anyone having time to spare in the city. If you have enough time you could try to explain Evolution to the Jehova Witnesses who stand there. They don't / won't get it, but please do your best

A beautiful gem in Sheffield! Endcliffe Park is the perfect blend of nature and community. The walking paths are scenic, especially along the Porter Brook, and there’s plenty of open space for picnics, sports, or just relaxing. The café serves great coffee and snacks, and the kids’ playground is always a hit. Whether you’re out for a jog, a dog walk, or just want some peace and greenery, this park is a must-visit. Always clean, safe, and welcoming!

Such a nice place to walk. Lovely creek. So many ducks around. Half way in has a little cafe which is so cute and the people there are so friendly and nice!

Great place, can be busy in the playground area but a lot more secluded and calm in the woodland part of it. They have a really great river and even have a lake to feed the ducks. In my opinion one of the best parks in sheff. They are even equipped with a nice cafe.

Lovely park, plenty of space for the kids/dogs to run around. Little river running through it, some woodlands as well . It's reasonable flat , with a proper path running through it. There's a small cafe, toilets and playground for kids and some inflatable slides, merry go rounds etc . There's no car park but street parking is nearby.

Excellent park.... Washroom needs to be more cleaner

We visited for the first time for Park Run which was very busy! Lovely park and would like to return with our dogs for a walk and a coffee....x

Very large open space, perfect for a picnic in the sun. Parkour park for the kids and sometimes inflatables (paid). Great for the whole family or just for a walk.

Beautiful experience & well worth checking out whatever your faith (or none). Very helpful staff who help bring elements to life with their wisdom Lovely cafe with typical Sheffield delights too

A surprising interior with ancient and modern designs. Good cafe with toilets. Side chapel and Crypt worth visiting while there. Right by Supertram stop and short walk from Station via Pond St etc.

Historic cathedral in the heart of Sheffield. Welcoming staff and very informative signs make it a trip worth while. The naval flags were a particular highlight personally.

Nice for a walk around, even has a cafe but we didn’t go in this time

We stopped by to see an Ancestor's tomb, it is such a beautiful cathedral. The Chief Priest welcomed us and was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable ☺️

The place is pretty nice and well managed. When I came, it was pretty quiet, which is nice if you wanna have a prayer. Then, there was someone playing the pipe organ/piano, so beautiful, adding good impression of the experience. The gift shop has some cute stuffs :)

Gorgeous cathedral. Free entry. Staff lovely and a nice shop and coffee shop.

Excellent set of woods, lots of gentle trails through dense wooded areas. A beautiful coffee shop and toilets and discovery centre. Only critique would be that the cafe area only has an undercover area, but it's not heated. In the depths of winter, it's bloody cold. Perhaps some halogen heaters or similar wouldn't go amiss in their covered seating area. Other than that, really enjoyable, great walk, loads of wildlife and suitable for all abilities. I went with my 72yo dad who's not great on his feet, and he loved it.

Plenty of space for dogs to keep away from people that aren't keen on them. Lovely birds nests in the spring including blue tits and herons! Includes a miniature railway for kids that is open some weekends (run by volunteers). Lovely variety of paths. Explanations of the local history on various boards - used to be farmland and still contains the odd boundary wall, and then an area for lime smelting.

One of the best places to see bluebells in Sheffield. As a plus, it has a café and toilets which are cleaned regularly.

Beautiful, tranquil and abundant wildlife despite being right on the edge of the city. Fantastic open days with lots to do for the whole family as well as a nice cafe for a pit stop. Our 4 year old especially loves all the rivers, trolls and mud!

Magical ancient woodland. I love these woods. There are 3 woods in total. Never see any litter there thanks to the litter picking people, I think they're called Friends of Ecclesall Woods. Clean, well maintained and beautiful at any time of year!

As far as woods go this is a pretty good wood. Nice large area to get lost in and feel like you're miles away from the city. Would I visit this wood again? Should I visit this wood again? Yes. Yes I would. A discovery centre and a cafe at the entrance are a nice little addition to this wood.

The playground of my childhood. The woods are full of beautiful bluebells and the tomato soup river still flows

Very interesting property. It's nice to walk inside in the uneven floors and get a taste of the past. Information displays in all rooms and informative friendly guides in hand to answer any questions. Makes you wonder how this beautiful old property survived in tact in the heart of built up Sheffield.

Interesting place to visit helpful staff to answer any questions looks big from the outside but it's small inside will definitely go again.

Lived near and worked in Sheffield and never knew about this place. If you have an hour or so to use them try here. About 500 years old and well worth a visit. Not much parking though. Free entry.

Fascinating snapshot of Sheffield history. Educational, free and a must see. To have an Elizabethan house in our city is a treasure. Next to Meersbrook park too with some of the best views of the city.

Small, but perfectly formed. The textiles are to die for.

An amazing place with lots of historical items inside. Its very interactive with signs explaining what each of the items are (and some of them can be touched). I've been before to watch a historical knight battle and it was great! Its located in Meersbrooke park and is very close to a grassy hill with a view of the city. There are also 2 playgrounds; one behind it and one down the hill. I would definitely recommend visiting this place!

We recently hired Bishops House for our wedding ceremony and the experience was overwhelmingly positive. Jenni and the team were very well organised and supportive throughout and made the experience as special and enjoyable as possible. It was an unforgettable day with great photo opportunities both inside and outside the building itself.

This is such a great park; a real asset for the local community! Set alongside the busy and noisy Abbeydale Road it seems to go on forever; so many facilities in one place and once you are in the park it’s wonderfully peaceful. When I visited just a couple of days ago it was very popular: joggers, cyclists, young families, dog walkers all using the paths plus fields, courts and even a boating lake. There’s ample parking plus toilet facilities and a great cafe.

A lovely clean park with something to do for everyone regardless of age. Tennis, basket ball courts, toddler play area, boating lake, skate park, climbing frames, with plenty of wild life to observe. Ideal for a picnic, jog, cycling, of exercise. Ample of free parking alongside the main road, or a fee car park closed by too.

This park is perfect for everyone. Here you have a playground for children, a place where you can buy breakfast, ice cream, drinks, toilets, tennis courts, basketball courts, football, bowling and table tennis. Tables with benches where you can have a picnic, a lake with boats, the Sheaf River, a small flower garden. It is the most diverse park. It is a great place.

Beautiful park. Great place to bring family. Has lots of activities. Basketball and volleyball court. Plenty of swings. Beautiful river with clear water. Atmosphere is good.

Millhouse Park is a lovely spot for both relaxation and recreation. It’s perfect for a peaceful walk, with plenty of open space and greenery to enjoy. Families will especially appreciate the well-maintained children’s play area, which keeps little ones entertained for hours. The cafeteria with pond view with boat rides adds a charming touch. On top of that, the park offers a variety of playgrounds and sports areas, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to unwind, spend quality time with family, or enjoy some outdoor activities, Millhouse Park is a great choice.

Not too busy in the park but the cafe is very hectic. Take a flask and a sandwich with you. Lots of seats by the river. Lovely and clean and a kids playground. Also bowling green is open.

A nostalgic walk remembering my childhood.

Really nice place with a variety of very original options for breakfast - Couldn’t decide on what to get as everything looked delicious. Very tasty and fair portions. The place itself is very busy - we visited for the first time as we were passing by so without the reservation we had to wait for a table. I would therefore recommend making a reservation if you’re visiting over the weekend. The food arrived quite promptly though. The only issue I had was the very loud music they had. Difficult to have a conversation with such volume.

Tamper is easily one of my favourite brunch spots in Sheffield…..I’ve been a few times now for both food and coffee, and it’s consistently been excellent. The food really is the standout! Creative, well-balanced dishes that always hit the mark. Hands down some of the best brunch you’ll find in the city. Coffee is solid too, and I’ve had a cocktail or two on occasion…. also really good….but it’s the food that keeps me coming back. It’s always busy whenever I’ve been (usually weekends), so definitely worth booking ahead if you don’t want to be waiting or risk missing out on a table. There’s plenty of seating both inside and out, I’ve always sat outside, which is a nice spot to relax, chat, and enjoy the atmosphere. If you’re visiting Sheffield, it’s a must-visit. If you’re based here, it should already be on your regular rotation.

Warm, cozy and calm vibes, friendly staffs, the foods smell good, we sat close to the kitchen. I went here with my friends, they loved the menu due to the juicy meats and big portion, also with reasonable price. We also got milky chai, flat white and yellow smoothie (mango).

If there are 10 stars I will give 10 stars. We live in Leeds and travelled to Sheffield yesterday and found this lovely cafe. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were super nice too! Will definitely come back to Sheffield solely for Tamper!!

Absolutely 10/10 for this place! First visit and the food had blown me away! I had the brisket and eggs benedict followed by the French toast. Both were the best I've had before. Add the atmosphere and really lovely staff. Winner. Book in advance though.

Would highly recommend this cafe. The food is always amazing. One of my go to brunch spots. It’s pretty busy but the service is great. I love their brisket here

Excellent food and beautiful place. There are vegetarian and vegan options. It was really good and original. I highly recommend the chai latte and the vegan plate with corn. We came twice during our stay in Sheffield because we loved the food !

Weston Park is a really lovely park and one of three located next to each other (Crooks Valley Parks). It is very well maintained and peaceful to walk around and you can always make a bit more of a day of it by visiting Western Park Museum at the same time. The paths are smooth but winding and undulating around the park, with various monuments, memorials and points of interest to have a look at. I visited in early spring and it was lovely, but I do plan on going back when the summer arrives, as I imagine the planting will really brighten up the area further into the year. It's amazing and testament to Sheffield's tag line of 'The Outdoor City' that such a green space can be so close to the hustle and bustle of a City centre.

Really nice park to go and relax look about have some chill time! Tennis facilities if you are into this but an amazing park with ducks to feed in the pond!! Sheffield’s Central Park!

very lovely park. the museum is also very good and has a lovely cafe. very beautiful inside. I only just found out about the park but I'm glad I came.

Best park in town for me! This park is beautiful in every season. Big enough to have a jog or walk. There is a pond with ducks and goose to entertain children, a band stand where people perform sometimes, tennis court that you can rent, and an interesting museum in there.

Each time I visit Sheffield I aim to visit one of the parks, however on this occasion I managed to visit three! Weston Park was the first and is a lovely park near the Children’s Hospital and by the University. You can get there by tram or bus but the weather was so great that I decided to walk there from the railway station. NB if you have never visited Sheffield you need to be aware that you will mostly be walking uphill, so wear sensible shoes and, if in doubt, use public transport!😹 The park itself is relatively small with lots of grassed areas, a duckpond with a couple of bridges, plenty of benches and a coffee cart. Around the park you will also see a number of war memorials. There’s also an icecream van just beyond the gates. It’s also the home of Weston Park Museum which itself is well worth a visit. The park is very popular with visitors of all ages and a good site for runners.

The museum here was very well laid out and lots of fun for all ages from 5 up to late 60's. Exhibits were well labelled and there was lots of space to.move or stand. We loved the art exhibition too. Cafe provided good and reasonable food - chip portions were large and lovely ( but pre-salted)

A lovely place to sit and enjoy or have a picnic on sunny days! It's so nice to see so many people enjoying the park as much as I do.

Raspberry matcha 10/10 Touch the sun (coffee) 8/10 Bagel 3/10 (Taste was okay, but the bagel was very hard to bite. Sandwich 8/10 (The taste was good, but the bread was a bit too hard to bite. Would be great if it was softer!)

friendly staff, various menus, I ordered ice matcha and chive cream cheese (vegan) bagel which can be ordered from 9AM till sell out. The bagel was tasty and I also tried croissant which was not too sweet. Cozy place and quiet, go further inside the cafe if want to find a more private place. I still can do work here but with self-internet and full charged of laptop.

This soy latte ☕️ & lemon meringue kronut 🍋 was honestly the perfect start to my day. The kronut was incredible — crispy on the outside, soft inside, with that sweet-but-not-too-sweet lemon filling that melts in your mouth. I was worried it might be greasy, but it wasn’t at all — it was light, fresh, and gone in just two minutes! 💛 And their soy latte? The temperature was just right — perfect for someone impatient like me who can’t wait for coffee to cool down 😂 So smooth and comforting. Pure happiness in a cup. 🤍

I was recommended this café by a coworker. I chose to come here today and I was not disappointed. The quality of the coffee is to a very high standard and I can tell they take it seriously. I also took a chive and cream cheese beigl. I have very high standards when it comes to beigls given my background, but the plain beigl I tried was simply delicious. My only issue was the amount of cream cheese was overwhelming, but it's better to have more than less! The prices here are also very reasonable considering what you get for the price. I will be coming here again during my break some time.

I had the iced raspberry matcha but I really didn’t like the taste of the matcha, wish I asked for more raspberry syrup as it made the matcha drinkable. The server was nice

As a Saudi girl who loves good coffee roasters, I can honestly say Steam Yard serves the best iced filter coffee I’ve ever had in the UK. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is cozy yet lively. A must-visit if you’re in Sheffield!

Lovely banana bread and flatwhite, great spot for some good coffee, has a great atmosphere with varied seat options. Definitely a favourite spot ⭐️

A delightful smallish park in Hillsborough Park, complete with play areas, a fishing lake and numerous paths. The Walled Garden is a must to visit! The park is popular with runners, dog walkers and young families. There are a couple of entrances; I did see signs noting prompt closure times for the gates-seemed quite early🤷‍♀️ It’s pretty easy to get to this park from the City Centre by bus or using the yellow Supertram route to Middlewood; the alternative is to catch the Supertram to Malin Bridge and exit at Hillsborough. When visiting make sure to go into the Walled Garden which is stunning!

A nice place to spend a day with family and friends. Paid parking area. Lovely children’s play area with lots of slides, climbing structures for toddlers and young children. Skate park for all ages. Small pond with lots of ducks and other birds.

I have only been to Tramlines in the park but it was a fab experience. The event was very well organised and the facilities were brilliant. Plenty of toilets and food outlets and some great stalls. Pulp were spectacular! It took a while to get out of the park but the crowd were patient and considerate and everyone seemed to have a happy and positive experience.

Tramlines 2025 was awesome. The entire event was excellent and very well executed, the acts were great but the standouts for me was Queer Country and Heather Small. Kasabian as the final act were definitely worth the wait with the final of England winning the Euros an excellent pre party show. Thank you

Great to spot Squirrels and birds, been going here since I was little. Great for Picnics and Dog Walking

Lovely Park with Lake, Library and Sports Facilities... Also Tramlines.... 😃 Edit: A year on and the problems with the geese are increasing. The pond is overrun with them and the paths are absolutely full of bird muck. This makes it a horrible experience walking round. Time something was done about them...!

Used to be a nice safe park for kids, now it seems like a through way for motorbikes

I've not explored all of the park yet, but had a peaceful walk around a section of it in the Autumn sunshine whilst on my lunch break. The autumn colours and blue skies were a fantastic way to spend half an hour away from the computer. I plan on a dry weekend taking my kids to the playground to see what that's like.

This is a lovely and beautiful park,there are playgrounds for children,a trail that you can jog or cycle on,a place for picnic and along the trail, chairs are available if you want to take a break. There is also a cafe there call Duke cafe,it's dog friendly and they have a lots of great dishes on their menu.

It’s a wonderful park because as I have received visited 2 days ago and I found this park amazing. I would suggest everyone to come to this park for joy and walk and get some fresh air. You can walk for a miles and miles there there also a swings for children and for infants too. There are one basket ball court, 1 football ground and 1 cricket although the cricket ground is with the Football due there is a pitch built up already there for Cricket.

One of the most beautiful parks in Sheffield by far. Lovely pathways to jog and walk, a children's play are - one for older children and one for toddlers too very clean and the grass is well kept. A great place for all the family, pets included.

Great playground. The cafe serves cooked food. Friendly team who take good care of my elderly father when he goes for his roast Sunday lunch There is seating outside if you take a dog.

Wonderful park, well kept lots of amenities. Beautiful day for the Bank Holiday Fayre. Well set up and organised. Thanks to everyone involved, I hope you have a safe and successful day 💗

Lovely park has a playground for younger and older children there are bences to sit on and a small cafe with toilets plenty of open space for dog walks or allowing your children to run around

There are lots of ways to get to Meadowhall but I recommend the tram, bus or train rather than driving as the roads around Meadowhall are a nightmare. There are just so many High Street shops in Meadowhall, covering clothing, shoes, books, bedding, jewellery etc Most recently I’ve used the Apple Store re my poorly iPhone and today visited Joe Browns, Zara, River Island, M&S, the independent shopping area and the huge Food Hall. I still find it difficult to navigate but there are floor layouts and shop directories at regular intervals around the site.

Meadowhall is a massive shopping area right next to the M1 motorway. Been around a few year now and needs more upgrades in certain areas. Lots of parking in privately owned car park free for a certain amount of hours. Lots of big brand shopping outlets for everyone’s needs regardless of age or gender. There used to be a lot more individually owned shops rather than just jig department stores which is a shame. I would go in the week if possible weekends are mental. No supermarkets but a M & S so most things covered. Worth going to for sure.

Meadowhall remains a bustling shopping hub, offering a mix of retail, dining, and entertainment. The Oasis Dining Quarter provides various food options, making it a great spot for a break during shopping. As for Motorfest, it was a spectacular event featuring Hollywood cars, classic vehicles, and even Transformers like Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. The event also supported Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, with charity. Visitors enjoyed live music, arts and crafts, and even supercar passenger rides for donations. It was a truly great experience.

This is a fantastic shopping centre, close to Sheffield and immediately off the M1. Loads of car parks around the front perimete (clearly marked in different colours, so you dont forget where you parked!) with easy access to the shops. The centre is big, but it's straight forward to find your way round. Shops are varied, and very similar to city centre shops, but much closer together and indoors. The malls are wide and the centre has an airy feel to it. We ate at Pret-a-Manger, but the 'Oasis' food court has a vast variety of food outlets to choose from. We travel regularly from Leeds, mainly because we like the atmosphere and the stress-free wandering.

Quite a few maps around the place so good to be able to find the shops you want. Good variety of shops and plenty of toilets. Thing to note is if you want to park in child bay or disabled bay you need to register in advance or you will get fined. Also easy access for trains.

Visited twice to find my brothers name ,put on in July, the touch screen locator wasn't working when we went and be warned the telephone helpline is only available 9-5 Monday to Friday which is a shame as mist people would visit like we did at weekends...we contacted British Heart Foundation by email and got location information, went up kast weekend and found my brothers name.but be aware has to be very small engraving, we used our camera on phones to enlarge the names but we were successful. A wonderful memorial for a loved one

There’s a reason why this whole place has been going for so many years now when in general a lot of high streets are struggling, literally everything you could possibly need here from clothing to toys to food to entertainment, free parking also available and even if you went for the day and didn’t buy anything, it’s just an experience to be there, a must visit for everyone

Walked around Rother Valley many times over the years but 1st time for my 17 year old daughter and we really enjoyed it. Beautiful scenery and lakes to walk round, lots of activities going off when we went but not in your face, ample parking, some interesting shops, nice vibe.

Rother Valley Country Park is a great place to enjoy the outdoors, with plenty of things to do for all ages. You can walk around the lakes, cycle along the flat paths, or try something more active like paddleboarding, sailing, or using the aqua park. The trails are easy to follow and suit both casual visitors and keen cyclists, while families can enjoy the large play area near the Northern Lake. The park feels calm and open, making it a lovely spot for picnics, walks, or just relaxing by the water and watching the activities around the lakes. The park has good facilities that make your visit more comfortable. The Stables Café, set in an old 18th-century building, is a nice place to stop for drinks or snacks with lovely views of the lake. There is plenty of parking, with both paid and free options nearby, and clean toilets close to the main area. Everything is well looked after, and the park has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you come for adventure or a quiet day in nature, Rother Valley Country Park is a lovely place to spend time outdoors.

Beautiful place to have a picnic with friends and family. You can hire bike for £9 per hour, best to take yours if you can. Loads of space to park but the payment was confusing, I paid for the hours I stayed at the pay machine but the barrier wouldn't open until I paid another £1, don't know why. The tech should be working better. The water sport center has lots of activities. If you are into water stuff and swimming, pack a swimsuit. It was my first time and I will return with better preparation now that I know you can do your barbecue fresh on site. It was generally a lovely place to hang out and loved the vibe of everyone doing their stuff. Didn't interact with any staff so can't comment about them.

Very lovely place to visit and just wander. Cafe serves hot & cold drinks and food. Very dog friendly. We only went to have a wander, however there is an activity centre, watersports area, cycles allowed, runners use the pathways. Lovely day out.

The country park is beautiful. Sadly the cafe is unbelievably banal and lacking in healthy & tasty food, plus closes early whilst the park is still active which is a massive missed opportunity, but maybe one day we can have both! All the nature on and around the water is really wonderful.

A beautiful bank holiday at a busy Rother Valley. Lovely walk with my teen who enjoyed chips n cheese from the cafe whilst watching so many people enjoying the facilities and on the water. Top Tip buy your ice creams from the shops as the vans are extortionate!

Another great day out at Rother Valley Country Park, watching the British jet ski championships. Weather was definitely on our side today.

Brilliant walk very challenging in places. Beautiful views and the pit stops on the way are dog friendly too. Just be aware that this very challenging in places also keep an eye out for the signs as you can miss them. I will be doing this again and I will take alot of pictures. You you are a walker and haven’t done this but it on your list

Why on earth does it think The Sheffield Round Walk is a Gym? It's a massive trial around the south of Sheffield. Pretty decent in places though to be fair.

Nice walk

My go to place, love it!

Lovely walk around South West Sheffield. Well signposted and easy to navigate.

Some nice walking trails and interesting views (excluding the fly tipping, burning vehicles etc). Worth a visit. Bring an extinguisher.

A beautiful forest and river walk in Sheffield

Very informative and passionate volunteers. We have walked past many times in the week and were lucky to be able to visit at the weekend when it was open. The ‘tour’ started when one of the volunteers shouted over to my son to ask him if he was the apprentice that had been sent. This immediately made us feel more at ease as I have wanted to visit, but was a little put off as it seemed busy. What followed was a visit to the building itself and a very informative talk about its history. There is an option to donate but you don’t feel under pressure. Both cash and cashless. Well worth a visit.

What a great initiative! The volunteers are really friendly & well informed, the signboards are excellent & it's just a beautiful place. I learnt so much & had not appreciated how difficult the life of a knife grinder was

Nice little place to visit with a very pleasant informative lady on hand to answer questions. Bit of a mystery to find to start with the car but if you park on Westwood way then you can walk through the gate and by the side of the river straight to it.

Brill experience - really informative volunteer & in the recorded tapes too. So glad this national treasure was save, restored & maintained for future generations to honor and learn from our past :))

A fabulous visit that brings to life Sheffield's industrial past. This was a dangerous and dirty job, with the grinders having a life expectancy of only 26 years. That the water wheel still works and all the machinery continues to turn beings the place to life. Well worth a visit. If this.review is useful please hit like

This is a lovely place to visit, especially as it is free. A nice part of Sheffields heritage ehi h is being preserved. I took my little ones and they loved seeing the wbeel spinning and the grindstones turning.

Situated on Porter Brook in Whitely Woods, Shepherd Wheel is a historic watermill and part of the Sheffield heritage museums. Open and active only on weekends and Bank Holidays, the old building courtyard and wheel is fenced off from the path.

Good mix of woodland walk and playgrounds. It offers an area to play sports like tennis, basketball and football as well as a bowling green and a skate bowl. A beautiful walled garden an adventure play area and lots of green space with wild flower areas.

Loved it Hill bombs and very fun skatepark

One of the best parks in the city. A large green space with plenty of trees and a reasonable sized wooded area, a playing field, small skate park and children's playground. The park is built on a hill and can be fairly steep in places but the climb is worth it for the view of tree city. There is a small walled garden and the Bishop's House is a preserved 15th century half timbered house open on weekends and definitely worth the trip.

Beautiful park to enjoy the skyline

A lovely little park with tennis courts and childrens play area. This park is home to bishops house a Tudor hunting lodge now a museum with Tudor period rooms. There are also wonderful panoramic views of Sheffield from the top of the hill. It is great for sledging in winter thanks to it's steep hills.

We love this park. So much beauty and wonderful things to do. Playground, tennis courts, skatebowl, lawn bowls in the summer, brook exploring, the woods, walled garden ( Japanese garden, herb & sensory garden, fruit+ vegetable patches, green house with large fish, gorgeous green lawn) obstacle course /exercise circuit top of the park (which the kids love clambering and balancing over), Bishop Courts house, Meersbrook Hall, park playground ...it's AMAZING

Lovely park.historic bishops house in the grounds. Take a look at how people used to live.great views over sheffield apart from the immigrants church

A Stunning Escape at Damflask Reservoir! Visited Damflask Reservoir today and wow, what a gem just 5 miles from Sheffield’s hustle! Nestled in the Loxley Valley on the edge of the Peak District, this 47-hectare reservoir is a must for anyone craving nature without a long trek. Here’s why you need to go: **The Walk**: The 3.3-mile circular trail is a dream—mostly flat, well-maintained, and pram/wheelchair-friendly. It took us about 1.5 hours at a leisurely pace, with breathtaking views of shimmering water and lush hills. Pro tip: Start at The Sands car park in Low Bradfield (S6 6LA, free roadside parking) and follow the clear path. One short road section near the sailing club, so keep dogs/kids close there. **Highlights**: The scenery is unreal—think sparkling water, woodland trails, and the occasional sailing boat gliding by. We spotted ducks, a cheeky vole, and even a mandarin duck near the dam wall! The path passes the site of the old Damflask village, washed away in the 1864 Sheffield Flood—adds a haunting vibe. **Tips**: Go early or on a weekday to avoid crowds and parking can be tricky. Watch for cyclists and dog-walkers. If it’s wet, paths can get muddy, so wear sturdy shoes. For a quieter walk, Agden Reservoir is 5 minutes away. Damflask is a perfect mix of serenity and accessibility. Whether you’re after a family stroll, a dog walk, or just a peaceful reset, this place delivers. Pack a picnic, soak in the views, and enjoy!

This one has been on my radar for a while and made for a lovely walk today! Roadside parking (no fee) Path is easy to follow, wide and flat all the way round

Great for an easy walk the path is mostly compressed limestone chippings so no need for boots but it can be muddy in places during the winter months and sometimes it gets very icy. Good access to lower bradfield pubs and cafes. Can get very busy though which can make parking difficult. Sheffield rowing club row here and there is a sailing club too. Fishing is allowed with a permit.

A lovely family and pram friendly walk for a dry day setting off from a lovely little village. Only thing to note is parking, there is ample street parking and a small car park but both were very busy on a cold but sunny winter day so imagine it could be chaos on warm days. School Rooms tea shop is a lovely place to get a brew or a bite to eat at the end of your walk.

Loved it here, a very nice place to go for a walk, run or just sit out for some quiet 'me' time with nature. I love that it feels very natural , I particularly love the trees (am excited I met he trees green). Great guide signs...

Lovely route for a 5k run or walk! Nice path that follows majority of the reservoir!

Great walk for all the family, plenty of parking on the bridge. Cycling not allowed which is great as no fear of getting run into like other parks/walks. Lovely views, enjoyed by like minded, friendly people. Dogs allowed on leads. Can fish in certain areas, decent pike apparently. Tickets can be purchased from the vending machine (see photo). No toilet or refreshment facilities. There is a pub near by called the Plough which is excellent.

Lovely piece of art commemorating the women who contributed so much during world wars 1 and 2 and, in one of the most idyllic places you can find in the centre of Sheffield, away from busier areas like Fargate and The Moor. Positioned just outside Sheffield City Hall and not far away from Barker's Pool which, will become even more quiet as John Lewis will not be reopening post lockdown.

Women of Steel is a bronze sculpture that commemorates the women of Sheffield who worked in the city's steel industry during the First World War and Second World War. A work of the sculptor Martin Jennings, it was unveiled in June 2016. Women of Steel was given the Keith Hayman Award in the Sheffield Design Awards 2016 and the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association's 2017 Marsh Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture He won again in 2018. from Wikipedia

Delightfully evocative sculpture.

Unveiled in June 2016, this iconic bronze sculpture by Martin Jennings commorates the effort and dedication of the women in Sheffield who worked in the steel industry during World War I and World War II. The sculpture has won several awards, and the additional money raised for the work was used to create medals for the real women of steel and their relatives.

Memorial of the women workers through the world wars

A fitting commemoration of the women who worked in Sheffield industry. Worth seeing, and very photogenic!

New Year's Eve 2022

Ducklings were adorable ! We love doing this walk from the city (6 mile round trip for us) and having a sit down at the Dam. The ice cream is worth it and the staff are lovely. Had a splash in the creek on the way home as well, perfect for hot feeties

A beautiful park area, full of greenery. There's also a small Brook flowing here. Beautiful serene place for fresh air and quiet.

Street parking. Nice cafe offering inside & outside seating. Toilets. A small children's playgroud. Peaceful walks down to Endcliffe park. Popular with dog walkers. Birds & wildlife to watch out for. Good for people wanting to capture a few photos of kingfishers, herons etc.

Fab food, friendly helpful staff in the cafe. Nice playground and walks around.

Nice walk from Wiremill dam to Forge with a stop at the cafe for something to eat and drink. Nice ice cream for the journey back. If you have children you can enjoy the playground.

A well loved place by generations of Sheffielders. A lovely dam surrounded by trees. Loads of wildlife. There is a cafe and toilets. For the younger kids a very nice traditional playground.

Beautiful woodland with path alongside a stream. Lovely cafe with plenty of outdoor seating. Lots of lambs in view today. Really lifts your spirits

Pound's park is very well kept. The variety of flowers is so beautiful. There are many people of all ages who enjoy this space.

Sooo much better than a disused fire station! Wonderful use of public space, using materials and landscaping to a high standard, aligning nicely with the charter row corner. Great to see so many kids enjoying it, too. I'd struggle to think of a better city centre park for this purpose in the UK!

Nice little area in the city centre for the kids to blow off a little steam. The water feature was working, too. It's not the biggest or best playground in the city, but it's alreyt to keep the kids entertained. It's manned by City Centre ambassadors, so hopefully, it won't get wrecked by idiots.

Lovely spot in the middle of town, suitable for all ages I’d say with sand and water play for little ones (suitable all year round with the right clothes/kit!) and big climbing structure, climbing wall and slide for the bigger ones. Beautifully designed with plants and greenery and there are accessible toilets and baby changing facilities on the site! My 3 and 6 year old love it.

No gates or fences to keep kids safe situated next to a road with busses biggest feature of the park is a water feature that has no water. Small park with more benches that play bits and sunbathing spots admittedly the slide was good but didn't rate much else. Spent to much money on plants and light posts in my opinion

Excellent playground with loads of different pieces, climbing, slides, water. There is plenty of seating, and it's a nice location. Update. Looking good with the grass and flowers growing.

Great park for kids, climbing, water, sand box, musical steps. And great coffee for the adults.

Good easy hiking for weekend. Due to summer, the water level were low and hence didnt notice waterfall. Play for kids are available as well, along with an icecream van. The bridges were beautiful and we spotted 2 swings made of tires hanging from the tree, whoever made these swings -Thanks a lot! Overall refreshing walk.

Beautiful place, very relaxing and quiet. Not the easiest walk as there are lots of rocks/stones and tree roots to contend with. Crossing the stepping stones was fun, if a bit wobbly. If the weather had been sunnier I would have been paddling, there are plenty of places to dip your feet if you are so inclined. The trail is about 2 miles 1 way and it took us 2 hours (we didn't walk fast) We wussed out on the way back and took the road path, which took us 50 mins. It was much quicker but not as scenic. Would recommend.

Excellent place to visit .something to see at all times really interesting. Kids and dogs would love it . Mine were never out of the water Plus free parking and a cafe on the trail.

Very serene place to enjoy lunch... feed the ducks....and listen to the water ....

Very scenic. Nice trek. Can be confusing to navigate. Try not to move too far from the water to avoid getting lost. There's a cafe on route and streets nearby where you can grab an ice cream in good weather.

A beautiful place to explore and relax. Great for children with the splash zone, play park, stepping stones, and shallow areas of the river to play in. Free parking is available on the road, though this is limited. Lots of the trail was suitable for pushchairs.

What a glorious place this is. Such a lovely walk by the water. Lots of cascades, so pretty. Amazing trees.

Perfect park for a dog walk, with so much variety! From woodlands to beautiful flower gardens, streams and lots of places to get muddy. There’s even an animal park so your dog can get to know what alpacas and sheep look like too!

really large park and amazing animal far with reasonably priced feed and good handwashing facilities. parking reasonable too but can be hard to find space at peak times - parking felt a bit like a battle field! all animals looked well cared for.

I attended with a friend as we were singing with Rockchoir on Sunday. We parked ok,used the clean loos ,found the stage area and sung our hearts out to a joyous audience. I had a henna tattoo, bought coffee,fudge and earrings. We were so impressed with the layout/seating areas and friendliness of all the traders we chatted to.

Again another amazing day trip with the family amazing animals and this time was a theme park rides One of the best day out I've had in a long time

Plenty of parking available but has to be paid for. Level access for disabled and well signposted, a great afternoon of fun in the free petting area with food to feed the animals supplied at reasonable cost with hand washing facilities and toilets. Good play areas and the witches walk and pumpkin picking was really good fun. £7 for children but only £1 for each adult. A very nice Rose Garden cafe to end with plenty of inside and outside seating and a good menu of hot and cold food and drinks at reasonable prices. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed in but apart from that a most enjoyable afternoon with friendly and helpful staff on hand too.

Went for the goat feeding experience and it was truly magical. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

What a lovely park, great for a long walk. I got about 3 miles in but you could certainly do more if you get creative. Had lots of great views along my walk, whether it was the pond of ducks, through the forest and bridge or the animal farm. I will definitely add this to my rosta of parks/ nature reserves walking routes.

Really good experience! My first time in the peak district and found this place by sheer luck and decided to give it a try based on the reviews. Great ice cream, cool fresh milk and we picked up some honey for home at the farm shop. There is a shaded area to avoid the sun, parking on site, a self service vending machine and a counter, lots of benches. One member of staff bought us over chairs to sit on whilst we were standing under the canopy which was really kind!

This place just simply never fails . Always try something new each times as there plenty of to choose from. 10/10 for ice cream .

Finding the best ice cream can be a delightful quest for many people. Many locations offer a wide variety of flavors and options to suit different tastes. The quality of the ingredients and the skill of the makers often contribute to the overall experience. Ultimately, the perfect place is the one that brings the most joy with each delicious scoop. Enjoying this treat with friends and family can create wonderful memories.

gorgeous ice cream! was busy but to be expected on a sunny bank holiday weekend, would definitely recommend!

Without doubt Our Cow Molly's ice cream is one of the best in the UK if not the world. They always have a good variety of ices to choose from. The staff are friendly and very polite. There is even on site parking, so when I visit for the purpose of taking some tubs home, I always sneak a cheeky cornet and couple of scoops, stand in the car park admiring the view and the working farm whilst I eat.

Amazing ice cream and so cheap price wise. Love it here.

Amazing ice cream and products overall. My negative review is about the usage of ai for posters. I assumed that a local business would understand why using Ai is bad for everyone involved. The least you could do is commission an artist for something you need, it's really not that expensive.

Brainchild of Sheffield police Chief Constable Percy Sillitoe in 1928, 120 of these police boxes were placed around the city. This is the only one remaining, last used in the 1960s and now Grade II listed. The exterior is well maintained and strikingly green. The interior is now inaccessible but was originally used by police patrols as a rest stop and to telephone commanding officers.

This historical little quirks in Cities help to retain a Cities culture, and the little Green Police Box is no exception.

Nice bit of history preserved in the city centre. Good for a photo opportunity and the attached plaque lets you learn a little about it. Can't go inside though or buy yourself a souvenir pencil sharpener or postcard though.

A valuable and interesting landmark, replete with an explanatory plaque. Surprised that Jodie Whittaker's Doctor doesn't use one!

It was green, like sea green. so green it should be cast for Shrek 5, as Shrek himself. for reference see Angelina King

Unique example of a South Yorkshire police box nestled by the side of Sheffield's old town hall

Just down the side of the Town Hall you find this old style Police Box and it was worth a photo opportunity if nothing else.

Lovely park and surrounding area. Lovely even in the rain. Had a nice walk here.

Great for dog walks, mindful walks, photos, introduction to Sheffield, paddling, foraging, and nature! You can do the Sheffield round walk through here, or you can walk along the Porter Valley through Forge Dam, Bingham, and Endcliffe Park. Whiteley Woods is lovely, and you can access the Mayfield Valley walking through forge dam, as well as the alpaca farm and Whirlow! There are many nice walks you can do and places you can get to by starting here. It's a great park where memories are made, people socialise, and photography opportunities. I love it.

What a beauty. It makes you feel in a fairy tale. Autumn and spring is the best seasons to go.

Small play area for kids. The cafe is spacious with lots of outdoor seating. Public toilets to the right of the cafe are generally clean. Good park and play area for kids and dog friendly

Beautiful place to walk! So scenic, has a stream that runs right the way through that you can most certainly have a paddle in! Lovely little cafe to have a little snack and a rest, too. Small park for children to have a play on also :) Perfect!

Great place , bacon sandwich is to die for at the cafe,a stroll down the valley a pure joy , you might even capture a glance of a kingfisher in one of the many ponds down towards Endcliffe Park. Downside forgedam pond needs some work , but definitely a lovely place to visit on a sunny day

Really excellent park, playground and cafe. Playground is SEN friendly. The cafe staff work hard and are very friendly and prompt. The food is delicious.

Great vibe park, one of the gems of Sheffield, this and it's sister park, Weston Park combined are great spots to hang out, solo or in groups. Good spot for runners to do loops around. Has a outdoor ping pong table. Nice deep water quarry, you'll see folks swimming in it. I haven't seen every single park in Sheffield to say it's the top park, but it is certainly one of the best in Sheffield City center area.

Crookes Valley Park truly transforms into something magical in springtime. It seems like a popular park for its blossoms as there were quite a few photographers in the area. The park itself is well-maintained. Highly recommend it but please be aware weekends can get busy, so consider a weekday visit if you prefer a quieter experience.

This is a really nice place for a walk and plenty places to stop and have a rest also! Really nice area of Sheffield if you need to go collect your thoughts get a coffee and go there!!

Beautiful cherry blossom flowers, a lovely walk a few weeks ago.

Beautiful ambience and populated in sunny evenings.

A small park but quaint. At its centre is a large pond, and there is the Dam House restaurant and bar for those fancying a tipple. It's a nice place to relax and enjoy a gentle stroll. There is a small playground area for children.

Great city centre park. Spring fed reservoir. Clean, cool and fresh.

Beautiful place for a steady and easy hike, takes about 45mins to an hour, parked at Wyming brook car park (free) which leads you on to a circular route and back to the car park!

Perfect place for a walk. Very calming path next to the river flow. Relaxing walk. Just when you staying at Wyming Brook Car Park keep in mind it is really small so it is worth to get earlier to find the spot.

Nice place to have a walk, around 1 hour for loopback then back to the car park.

Its cool place for one n half hour walk... Quite and sound touched heart... Will go again..

There's something for everyone - from gentle streamside paths to rugged, rocky trails with stunning views over the Rivelin reservoirs. I was catching up with a friend on a Sunday morning & we took the rocky route out soaking in the dramatic scenery then looped back to the car park via the gentler path. It’s the kind of place where nature feels accessible.

Absolutely beautiful place spent 3 hours there but could have been a lot longer we got parked but car park is not very big the track we took was not suitable for pram or wheelchair

We walked across some moorland and down to the bottom of Wyming Brook. The walk then took us up and around the Redmires Reservoirs. The walk itself has some medium difficulty walking and some relatively flat walking around the reservoirs. It's an extremely picturesque walk and the Brook is definately worth seeing. There is a farm where you can get takeaway drink and ice cream or cake. A great day out and recommend for kids as its interesting.

Trail was lovely, came with the kids and they loved it, if we were better prepared we would've brought their wellies so they could splash through the water more but we all had a lovely time. I'm definitely gonna bring my dog back here as he would love it. The only problem with the place, is finding parking. There is a small car park which is free but you'd have to come early or late to get a space, there are spaces along road sides if you're willing to walk a while but yea I'll defo be coming back here again in the summet

Rivelin offers long walk next to running headway waters with many man made waterfalls. There is even a space or two for a quick dip! Kids loved it.

Beautiful morning walk, great for dogs and lovely scenery throughout

Beautiful place, nice long walk, hardly any people there.

Nice spot for nature’s walk. I’d suggest an early morning one. It gets busier during the day in summer.

Beautiful walk following the river, with a small car park which is free and plenty of picnic benches along the path. There is also a spot for wild swimming so perfect for a sunny day.

Nice place to visit with friends or family during summers.

Great place to walk the dog around through the woods along small cave type rock formation. There's also a wide stream that flows through the bottom of the Brook. Did this walk in winter and was very pleasant, so in spring/summer, with all the blue bells, etc, it will be amazing.

I use the Parish Hall carpark when visiting here. Good stretch of woods with some clear walking paths through, frequented by dog walkers. You can go walk by the river, and there's a railway line going through with arch you can walk under. Interesting rock formations to look at with some caves there too.

Fantastic area with an array of landscapes for walking. Beautiful scenery and always a pleasure to walk around. Many routes to take and never get bored of it

Nice walk but very overgrown. Lots of people waling their dogs or just out for a stroll.

Amazing place to chill and talk with friends or just go on walks with your dog

Love this place, even though it is in-between North Anston and the A57 it feels like its a different world. Its mainly under the canopy of the trees and its paths follow the river with the ancient stones rising up to the sides, a great place to escape the direct heat of the sun under the leafy bowers and to walk with dogs in tow and to enjoy natures gift.

Great for kids and dogs, a lovely little walk

It's a small park but good for local visits

Amazing green space, great for families

Very nice, green, peaceful park. Compared to other more busy parks with lots of features/ facilities, this was a refereshingly simple and natural spot

Very simple small park. Usually has people walking dogs in it. A broken owl statue is in the middle of the main grassy area with a small plaque. There are also a few children's swings, roundabouts, general small play area. It is not usually that busy even at the weekend.

Small park good for kids and dogs

Nice secluded little park - not too busy. Small playground and a basketball 🏀 hoop. Jessica Ennis used to train by running up the hill here.

Even though its a bit of a ride on my bike to l do love to come to Chelsea park beautiful place for a picnic & it's peaceful

Nice walk with good paths, keep an eye open for the Kingfisher

Incredible suburban woodlands with many different walking/running/biking trails to take

Our regular walk. It’s amazing especially in this stunning weather

Real forest in the city. No slopes, a park suitable for walking and jogging.

Great place for a long walk in the nature.

Very pleasant place.

Beautiful Park have got 2–3 sides of it, during snow time it gets busier also has got tennis courts, football pitch also is got mini forest !!
