Hurtige fakta: Sheffield's largest park sprawls across 100 acres of woodlands, meadows, and sports fields. The park's famous rare breed animal sanctuary houses cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry breeds that are critically endangered.
Højdepunkter: The animal sanctuary here is part of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, home to animals like Bagot goats and Cleveland Bay horses that you'd struggle to find anywhere else in the north of England. You can watch the resident peacocks strut freely past picnic blankets, completely unfazed by the crowds.
Insidertips
- The Rose Garden behind the animal sanctuary is a peaceful hidden spot with dozens of varieties at their peak in July.
- Park at the Norton Avenue entrance rather than the main car park to start your walk near the best woodland trails.
- Bring wellies after rain the lower paths around the stream get seriously muddy.
- The café near the playground serves decent tea but opening hours vary, check before you go.
