Full description:
As an alternative to the cancelled walks of this weekend, we're going for a stroll through Sheffield. Meeting at Pond Hill, we'll cross the railway line to South Street to walk through Norfolk Park. Turning off to cross City Road, we'll then circle back through Manor Fields Park and Skye Edge Fields before walking down into the city centre.
Please wear boots with good grip and a wind-proof/rain-proof coat, as the forecast is looking winter-y!
When you log in to your Ramblers account, you can view most of the route here: Sheffield - Norfolk Heritage Trail and Skye Edge Fields - Ramblers We're extending it slightly to make it circular.
Public transport or car sharing options:
Any bus to and from Pond Street, Arundel Gate or Sheffield Interchange.
