Less than five miles from Sheffield's cosmopolitan city centre lies the Peak District. The first national park to be formed in the UK, the Peak District boasts myriad hiking opportunities; from heather moorland to rolling hills, lush pastures to deep valleys, ancient woodland to gentle rivers, quaint villages to remote farmsteads and much more.
However, it is not just the Peaks that makes Sheffield the UK's leading destination for outdoor adventure, city culture and rural escapes. In fact, Sheffield is surrounded by picturesque countryside on every side, all rich in history and heritage. It is no wonder that the great outdoors is in the DNA of the city and people, then.
This Collection introduces you to the wonderful landscape that is Sheffield’s garden. In these routes, you explore the wild and wonderful landscape around Derwent Dam and Ladybower, hike deep into the moorland above the city, saunter through beautiful ancient woodland that was almost destroyed by the industrial revolution, and ascend hillforts with the best views in the city. These routes also take you up to the summit of Mam Tor, arguably the star attraction of the Peaks, and explore the iconic Chatsworth Estate.
There is something for all abilities in the Collection, too. Whether you are looking for a relaxing hike within the city, or a full-day hike through remote countryside, you will find it here. So, lace up your boots and discover why Sheffield is officially the Outdoor City.
Public transport links are very good around Sheffield and bus services are mentioned in these routes.
