Full description:
This is the longest section of the Sheffield Country Walk, so make sure to eat something in advance and bring snacks plus water. We start out walking through Greno Woods and come out onto a country lane towards Birley Edge before bending off to Middlewood. After crossing the railway, we head for Worrall. After that, it’s pretty much a straight line along fields towards High Bradfield.

If we struggle for time, we can cut the route short and end at Middlewood, but the aim is to make it all the way to High Bradfield and catch a bus from there.

Public transport or car sharing options:
Getting to the start:
- Bus 86 to Chapeltown via Hillsborough (Sheffield Angel Street CG3, 17:29 > Penistone Road/Wood Seats, 18:10)

Getting home from the finish:
- Bus 61 to Hillsborough Interchange (Loxley Road/Woodfall Lane, 21:48 > Hillsborough Interchange, 22:18) + any bus to Sheffield Centre

By car or bike:
Alternatively, park your car or bike at Hillsborough Interchange and take bus 86 to Wood Seats from there.
