Our Walks

We offer a broad range of walks, from Wednesday Health Walks which last between 40 - 60 minutes,  1.5 to 2 miles in length, to the longer sunday walks which are usually around 7-9 miles in length.

Every other Saturday our walks are either short themed walks or around 6 miles in length
Fortnightly midweek evening walks are also provided for people who fancy a brisk walk somewhere in the suburbs of Sheffield, followed by a pub visit afterwards. These walks are normally 3-5 miles in length and last about 1.5 hours.

We have regular stops to admire the views, the flora, fauna, birds and other wildlife. Sharing local information and any general knowledge about the countryside and walking in general is always encouraged. We even wait for photographers sometimes!

Where we walk

Weekend walks are mostly around South Yorkshire and the Peak District, which have some of the most attractive villages and countryside in England. We sometimes venture into Nottinghamshire or further afield to the coast.

Evening walks usually take place within the boundaries of Sheffield itself.
