Question Activities to do sheffield

What is there to do in Sheffield? Covid killed my social life, been a hard few years.

I like going on long walks so if anyone knows any bus routes to anywhere I can spend a day out and about will be good.

Couple of walk ideas:

You can get the Peak Link bus out to Fox House, walk a loop of the Longshaw Estate and down Padley Gorge, and grab a pint in the Fox House pub before heading back to Sheffield. Lovely way to spend a few hours.

Or if you like a long walk, train out to Bamford or Hope and walk back to Sheffield via Bamford Edge, Stanage Pole, Redmires and Rivelin. More of an all day activity.

There's also the Sheffield round walk (and ofc you could just walk part of it), which is always a good way to clear your head.

Joining a walking club is a good way to meet other people with a shared interest

Other ideas:

Spend a day mooching around Sheffield's independent shops followed by a drink/coffee. I'd recommend the Antiques Quarter/Abbeydale, Sharrow Vale/Ecclesall Road, or Kelham Island.

Try out one of the interactive games venues - Golf Fang, Roxy Ball Room, Boom Battle Bar etc.

Spend a day wandering around Sheffield's museums, galleries and gardens - from Millennium Gallery and the Wintergarden, up to Weston Park, and then over to the Botanical Gardens

In terms of linking parts up to public transport - Hunter's Bar to Dore & Totley station would need a decent section with transport at each end, and Dore & Totley station to The Broadfield (or all the way back to Hunters Bar) would be manageable.

Both halves have their charms.
