Hidden gems in the City of Steel: Family walks in Sheffield

Scenic viewpoints, lush valleys, weaving waterways, ancient woodland... why wouldn't you walk?It's not too common that you get all this in a city. And it's even less common that you can get to it really easily, and see so many different types of environment in such a short space of time.Sheffield's parks often connect wilder greenspaces, and of course there's the Peak District (which actually makes up 1/3 of the city itself). Add to that plenty of heritage, cafes, pubs and culture all intertwined there is a walk for everyone in the City of Steel.Taking a little adventurer along with you, however small, shouldn’t be daunting or stressful. It is a great bonding experience for both of you. Time outdoors benefits your mental and physical health and teaches your little one the magic and beauty of the great outdoors, magic that will stay with them for a lifetime.With the right clothing and equipment, a little bit of patience and plenty of snacks, you are guaranteed to have a brilliant time. Embrace the nappy explosions, the sudden downpours and the giant tantrums - it’s all part of the adventure. You will take something away from every walk you do and create memories for your children that they’ll take into adulthood.Blaze Trails is the UK’s parent and baby walking community. We’re parents who support each other to get outdoors and go walking with our babies. We have over 40 parent and baby walking groups around the country, including our very active Sheffield and High Peak groups. You can join a local group or even start your own!Walking is brilliant for our mental and physical health, but getting outdoors with a baby can feel daunting.
