Walking & Cycling Trails in Sheffield

If you're after a proper trail near Sheffield, the choice on here is a small one, but it's a good one. Silverhill Wood, a drive out to Sutton-in-Ashfield, is reclaimed colliery woodland with cycling trails and an orienteering course, plus a dog selfie spot for anyone walking with a dog. It's free to get in and free to park, which makes it an easy one to pick without checking the budget first. It's outdoor throughout, so waterproofs earn their keep, and the mix of walking and cycling routes suits older kids on bikes as well as anyone after a longer walk. There's a picnic area if you want to make a day of it, and dogs are welcome off the lead-friendly paths. Being a longer trip out from Sheffield itself, it's one to plan for rather than a quick after-school outing.
