Historic Sheffield

A walk of just over 3 miles, and by Sheffield standards pretty flat! The walk takes you from the medieval part of town to where it expanded westwards and uphill. Along the way you’ll see some of Sheffield’s most famous buildings; the cathedral where you start and finish, the oldest brick building in Sheffield – Old Bank House – the city hall, City Museum and parts of the University of Sheffield. You’ll also visit two popular parks – Weston Park and Crookes Valley Park.
