Over
Korte feiten: Sheffields grootste park strekt zich uit over 40 hectare bos, graslanden en sportvelden. De beroemde dierenopvang voor zeldzame rassen van het park herbergt rundvee, varkens, schapen en pluimveesoorten die ernstig bedreigd worden.
Hoogtepunten: De dierenopvang maakt hier deel uit van de Rare Breeds Survival Trust en is de thuisbasis van dieren zoals Bagot geiten en Cleveland Bay paarden die je moeilijk ergens anders in het noorden van Engeland zult vinden. Je kunt de residente pauwen vrijelijk langs picknickdekens zien paraderen, volledig ongestoord door de menigte.
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.
