She took me there on the number 2 circular bus in pre school days to play in the paddling pools and to catch little fish in the river behind the play park. Later I made regular trips with my pals for weekend pick-nicks gradually exploring further up the valley to Den Bank to feed a white horse called Smithy our apples then larking about waiting for buses at the post office. As a teenager we played truant up Riverlin and spent the day fishing and smoking in the then derelict allotment huts or just sitting by a fire up in the woods. Latter I learned to climb on Rivelin rocks and eventually climbed the needle. I skived off work there too, as I worked at Malin bridge I would get off the bus, phone in with a tummy complaint and then head off up Rivelin to Wymingbrook, Stanage pole then Burbage edge and drop down Paddley gorge for the train home. I love Rivlin valley thank you all those who look after it . Happy carefree days to you too!. My lucky number is still no 2 for the magic circular bus to Rivelin.

Full of history and interest and there's now a great cafe too. My great grandad had an allotment there in a now very overgrown area just of Rivelin Valley Rd. Hi Sheila,
Yes Rivelin Valley is fantastic isn’t it? Full of history and interest and there’s now a great cafe too. My great grandad had an allotment there in a now very overgrown area just of Rivelin Valley Rd.

I feel so lucky to live close to such a beautiful place and never tire of my daily walk. I find the fast flowing river and history very addictive. To walk through Rivelin Valley on a sunny Autumn day is my idea of heaven. I would like to thank Sheffield City Council and the Rivelin Conservation Group for their excellent maintenance.
