Things to Do in Sheffield
Sheffield is one of the greenest cities in England, with the Peak District starting inside its boundary. Here are four public places that suit a first meeting.
The Winter Garden and Peace Gardens for the centre
The Winter Garden is a large glasshouse full of plants, opening onto the Peace Gardens with its fountains. It is free, central and easy to find, and a good rainy day option.

The Botanical Gardens for a calm afternoon
Sheffield Botanical Gardens, on the south west side, has glasshouses, themed gardens and quiet lawns. It is a calm place to walk and talk, and a short bus ride from the centre.

Endcliffe Park for a stream and woodland
Endcliffe Park runs along the Porter Brook, with a cafe, playing fields and a wooded path that continues along the valley. It suits a long, easy walk.

The Peak District for the big views
The Peak District begins on the western edge of the city, with moorland, gritstone edges and waymarked paths within a short bus or train ride. It suits a day out, and the weather is cooler and windier than in town.

Planning a Sheffield day
Sheffield is built on hills, so a short walk on the map can be a steep climb, and the tram and the buses are a help. Footwear matters, and the moors are much colder than the centre, so dress for the higher ground.
