Top Rated Parks to Visit in Sparrowpit

"As Sheffield consists of over 61% green space, the city cannot be complete without a proper botanical garden. Displaying more than 5,000 different species of plants, the Sheffield Botanical Gardens span more than 19 acres (8ha) of land and were first opened in 1836. The gardens feature beautiful glass pavilions, as well as an old bear pit and a spectacular main gateway."

"First opened in 1836, they are BEAUTIFUL, especially on a warm, sunny day. You can stroll through the greenhouses, or dare to enter the bear pit. Don’t worry – there are no bears there anymore!"

"Known as the 'Palace of the Peak', this vast edifice 3 miles northeast of Bakewell has been occupied by the earls and dukes of Devonshire for centuries. Inside, the lavish apartments and mural-painted staterooms are packed with priceless paintings and period furniture. The house sits in 25 sq miles of grounds and ornamental gardens, some landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown. Kids will love the farmyard adventure playground.From Bakewell, take bus 218 (£2.70, 15 minutes, half-hourly)."

"Part of Sheffield’s charm is that it has the Yorkshire countryside and surrounding greenery right at its doorstep. A great base from which to begin your exploration of Yorkshire’s green spaces is Endcliffe park. Since opening in 1887, Endcliffe park has continued to attract visitors for both its park and woodland."

"Encliffe Park, in the south west, combines woodland and parks to create one of the largest and most popular parks in Sheffield. It was opened in 1887 for Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. The park is populated with lots of things to see and do, such as the Porter Brook, which runs through the park and forms two ponds."

"This cable car ride is one of the most famous days out in the whole of the Peak Districts!. The main attraction of the Heights of Abraham is of course the cable car ride over the Derwent Valley but there are plenty of other activities on site!. Some other attractions on site include an adventure playground, caves, fossil factory and more!"

"Heaton Park might be big, but my favourite park in Greater Manchester is Fletcher Moss Park and Parsonage Gardens. The Fletcher Moss section is part woodland and part gardens. I love going for walks here because the forest reminds me of home."

"The vantage point at Bamford Edge provides the most beautiful view over Ladybower Reservoir. This spot can be particularly enchanting around sunset as the last of the day’s light bounces off the water and hillsides which surround it."

"The B29 Overexposed Crash Site is an exciting and memorable Peak District walk, as it is a site where 13 people tragically lost their lives in 1948. We recommend exploring the area but also be respectful as it is a memorial. It is interesting how after 70 years, you can still see vast parts of the wreckage."

"The Old Workshop, a new addition to the Kelham Ale Trail, is strictly a craft beer only pub. Boasting an insightful collection of ever-changing ales, choose from their 7 drafts or 25 bottles. Location: 10 Hicks Street"

"The Old Workshop is a cosy, fantastic looking little bar not far from popular Peddler Market. A great selection of beers and a laid back atmosphere. They’re also the new home of Make No Bones vegan food."

"There’s a reason chain restaurants are popular, and it’s because you can rely on them for consistency. If you’re looking for a curer, or just somewhere easy to meet friends in the centre of the city, you could do worse than the All Bar One brunch. Start with a croissant or pan au chocolat before tucking into something more substantial like Belgian waffles or shakshuka."
