Full description: This circular walk takes in some of the woodland and open land on the southern edge of the city.

Beginning at the Woodseats entrance to Graves Park we start by following the reverse of the Sheffield Round Walk through Chancet Wood and Parkbank Wood. We'll stop for lunch in the quiet suburb of Bradway before heading across the fields to the edge of the city limit, the very bottom of Yorkshire. For the next little while our route straddles the Sheffield/Derbyshire border as we make our way towards Bowshaw and Coal Aston, before turning north and heading back to the comfort of Sheffield via Nor Wood. We pass through Norton and re-enter Graves Park from the southern side, wandering through the park back to the start point at the Woodseats entrance on Chesterfield Road.
Public transport or car sharing options: Many buses serve Woodseats. See routes 24/25, 43/44 or 75/76.
On-street parking nearby.
