Walk 1: Victoria Quays to Peace Gardens (1.5 miles, 1.5 hours, Wheelchair/buggy friendly (with diversion to avoid steps))
This walk takes you from the picturesque port of Victoria Quays at the end of the Sheffield canal, to vibrant gardens in the heart of the city: a living celebration of world peace. In between you'll walk beside Sheffield's Supertrams, circle its unusual cathedral and a Georgian Square from Paradise, pass an imposing Town Hall, the celebrated Crucible Theatre and the wonderful Winter Gardens. Something for everyone!
Walk 2: Peace Gardens to Monument Grounds (1 mile, 1 hour, Wheelchair/buggy friendly (with diversions to avoid steps))
Passing the Town Hall this walk takes you first to the City Hall, a contemporary venue for special events. Descend now down the ‘gold route' to Sheffield station, past modern university buildings sporting modern poetry, and a Cutting Edge water feature. Traverse the station and the Supertram tracks to ascend a hill with an unusual amphitheatre, ending at enchanting gardens with stunning views over most of Sheffield.
