'The Five Pits Trail you see today is a changed landscape from the industrial days of colleries and railways. We now have growing woodlands, lakes, meadows and ponds.'

'Join us on the Linacre Reservoir Audio Trail as we circumnavigate the three small reservoirs, passing through an attractive mixture of deciduous and coniferous woodland.'

'You can walk all the way around the edge of Sheffield. The Guide Book includes maps showing the 10 sections of the Sheffield Country Walk - just over 54miles (87.3km) in total.' ALERT The Website 'Welcome to Sheffield', formerly referenced here, no longer seems to carry information about this Walk. So I have cited instead a description from David Sissons. Note also the Map in the Entry in Walking Englishman.

Sheffield Country Walk [GPS Cycle & Walking Routes]

'The walk follows the routes of old lanes and trackways which have emerged in a landscape traditionally used for farming, timber and small wood productes, mining and industry. Water has powered grist mills (for grinding corn) from the Domesday survey of 1086 to the scythe and sickle production of the 15th to 19th Century.'
