About Curious About Sheffield

Curious About Sheffield gives an entertaining glimpse into what makes this fascinating Yorkshire city what it is today.

Resident or just visiting you'll spot things you wouldn't have otherwise noticed, and be constantly surprised by this famous Yorkshire city.

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!
