Sheffield circular walk of heritage as we follow the River Don and the Sheffield and Tinsley canal. This walk highlights Sheffield South Yorkshire's industrial and historical past as we walk along the Sheffield and Tinsley canal passing old warehouses, breweries and places where history has been made, also passing Tinsley Flight before heading onto the footpath by the River Don.
Onto the city via Meadowhall shopping centre we join the Five Weir's Walk, passing Sheffield steel foundry's and buildings made famous for the production of tools, saws and cutlery. Heading into the city I passed numerous breeds of birds including a heron, kingfisher, redwings, goldfinches and sand martin's, plus an otter and 2 water voles.
As we approach the city we pass some historical buildings including Sheffield's oldest bridge, then back to the canal via the old Victoria Quay as we follow the towpath back to our start point by Sheffield Arena.
This route is 9 miles long and can be shortened and joined at any point quite easily as the river and canal run near each other but I suggest if you can walk it all, do so!
I thoroughly enjoyed this walk, walking with water, historical industry, heritage and wildlife, there are plenty of information boards along the route highlighting the historical locations and places of interest along the way.
