Sheffield round walk
Start: Open in map app SK332858, Ecclesall Road, Endcliffe
Walk Leader: Ben G
Backmarker: Volunteer on day
This circular walk takes you on a tour of the parks, countryside, woods, waterways and villages surrounding the Yorkshire city of Sheffield. The walk is signposted and runs for about 14 miles so can be completed in a day.
You can start the walk from any number of places but this route starts from the lovely Endcliffe Park in the Sharrow Vale area of the city. You enter the park at Hunters Bar and then follow the pretty Porter Brook through woodland to Bingham Park at the western end. You continue along the brook through Bingham Park and Whiteley Woods passing Endcliffe Park and Forge Dam on the way.
After emerging from the woods you head through the lovely countryside of the Mayfield Valley along Clough Lane. This leads to the peaceful wooded area of Porter Clough where you turn south to the little village of Ringinglow on the edge of the Peak District National Park.
After passing through the village you then head through the pretty Limb Valley with the Limb Brook and nice woodland trails to enjoy on this section.
The next stage takes you through one of the real highlights in Whirlow Brook Park. Here you'll find Rhododendrons, Azaleas, woodland, surfaced footpaths, gorgeous gardens and a rock pool with a waterfall.
After leaving the park you continue south east through Ecclesall Woods where you'll pass the delightful Abbeydale Miniature railway.
You continue towards Beauchief Abbey passing through Ladies Spring Wood on the way. The Limb Brook runs through this area of ancient woodland with a variety of birds to look out for. These include nuthatch, the green woodpecker, the great spotted woodpecker and the lesser spotted woodpecker. Beauchief Park includes the remains of the 12th century Beauchief Abbey, a 17th century church and a pretty mill pond.
The route continues east to Meadow Head and Graves Park. The park is a mixture of open parkland and woodland, with several streams and three lakes. There is also an animal farm with many rare breeds of cattle, pigs, chickens and donkeys.
After Graves park you turn north through Lees Hall golf club and Meersbrook Park. The final section takes you through Chelsea Park and Brincliffe before finishing back at Endcliffe Park.

We are returning to the Bury Jubilee Hostel at the base of Helvellyn for our October weekend away, with great opportunity to bag this great mountain. There is plenty of other fantastic walking to be done in the area. Although the hostel is relatively basic, it is in a fantastic location and very reasonably priced. This is always a popular weekend.

Walk Leader: Alex T
Backmarker: Volunteer on day
This first of a series of walks I am doing to convince you to buy a tunnel, by showing how hard it is to walk over.

I will then realise this is meant to be a nice walk and head back to edla via South head, and kinder low with some nice views both sides and finish near the Old Nags Head for whatever refreshments are permitted.
This is actually part of a sponsored activity month for work's internal charity Golder Trust for Orphans you will be helping out just by keeping me company.

Rushup Edge-Great Ridge Circular
Starting at Edale, we walk towards Barber Booth before taking the Chapel Gate track up to the top of the Rushup Edge. This is a strenuous but steady climb of a bit less than a mile. We then walk along the ridge, stopping to take in the views at Lord’s Seat, before heading down towards its end.
We then make the step but short climb up to Mam Tor and walk along the Great Ridge, all the way up to Lose Hill (another step/short climb). This walk provides stunning views of both the Edale and Hope valleys. We’ll then back track along the ridge to Hollins Cross, and make our way back down to Edale.
It’s likely to be windy/cold on the ridges so please bring appropriate clothes and food/drink for lunch. There’s also some parts where the ground is likely to be a bit boggy, so please wear appropriate footwear.

9.5mi/15km,
Derwent Edge - Back Tor circular loop
We start next to the Lady Bower Inn with a short but very steep climb up onto the edge. It's worth the effort for the views over Lady Bower! We will then walk along the edge via White Tor, Dovestone Tor, Back Tor and Lost Lad before winding our way back down to the reservoir. We will follow the water until we are back at the Lady Bower Inn.
There is parking at Heatherdene £3 all day
There is a bus available but please note the times of departure - 273 bus leaves Sheffield Interchange at 9:00am and arrives at the Lady Bower Inn around 9.25. For returning the bus leaves either from Fairholmes (which will shorten your walk by about 3 miles) or the Lady Bower Inn. This might involve some hanging around as the buses are not very frequent but it's a nice place to kill an hour or so! (Depending on the size and ability of the group we will probably miss the bus at 1pm and the next bus is around 4pm - please ensure you are happy with this before committing to come on the bus).
It is suggested to bring the following:
- Lunch
- Plenty of water (the walk will probably take around 4 hours)
- Suitable footwear. The terrain is rocky in places, generally paved but if it has rained could be muddy/boggy in places).
- A waterproof and layers. The edge is very exposed so it's likely to be windy and cooler than you might be expecting and the weather is very changeable.
The views on the walk are spectacular, especially with the heather in full bloom at the moment, hope to see you there!
Difficulty - Medium - the climb at the start is quite steep but the walk is fairly easy going from there.

Start: Open in map app SK327895, Loxley New Road, Malin Bridge
Walk Leader: TBC
Backmarker: Volunteer on day
This walk encircles the entire water catchment area for the Loxley river, using paths rather than roads as much as possible. After an initial start along the Loxley river itself, we then climb up to Loxley common and Loxley Edge and follow the Sheffield country walk to High Bradfield. We then take a series of paths and head along Rocher Edge towards the Dukes Road, which we will follow all the way to Back Tor (halfway point and lunch stop). We will walk along Derwent Edge, then take a right towards Moscar and a section of quiet country lane. If there is time, we will divert slightly from the watershed to visit Our Cow Molly, for a well-deserved ice cream to keep us going for the last hour of the walk back to Malin Bridge via Storrs and Matlock Edge. Assuming the weather is clear, we should have spectacular views of the Loxley valley from all directions and beyond. If the weather is very hot or wet, the route will be shortened. Please note that given the distance this will be a fairly fast paced walk with limited stops and we are likely to be out for 10 hours in total, so please make sure that you bring plenty of food and water and suitable clothing to cover all likely eventualities.

Birley Edge & Many Woods
Start: Open in map app SK326912, Middlewood Tram Stop
Walk Leader: Nigel L
Backmarker: Volunteer on day
Some of the walks first section is a bit grim. I could try to romanticise it but that would be pointless. Anyway, after passing the ghostly images of Sheffield’s decaying industrial past the walk heads along Birley Edge with some sweeping hillside views, some cloaked in creeping city limits.
Our route enters an extended duration of soft woodland tracks and trails and the tree canopies of Prior Royd, Hague’s, Warncliffe, Redmires and Clough Woods. We briefly reemerge in open skies before following the tree lined banks of the River Don with its babbling, rushing and meandering waters back to Middlewood.

10mi/16km,
Redmires to Bamford
This 10 mile circular walk has reservoirs, edges and just the odd hill to contend with. Ideal for those enjoying a Sunday lay-in, I’ll be leaving Redmires (top reservoir) at 10am. We start by heading up the stoney track to Stanage Pole. Striding onto the edge we’ll head to the right, along the top to the Long Causeway. We then drop down to towards New Road, strolling through fields and woods before the rewarding climb to Bamford Edge. The spectacular views make this one of my favourite walks. Given the starting point, this walk maybe more suitable to those who drive or those who live Redmires side of Sheffield. I’ll be following the ‘safe’ walk guidelines set out on the ramblers website (see the link below) so there’ll be no group hugs but I can promise you an interesting bimble with a great lunch spot. Who knows, this Sunday we might even see some sunshine.
