Timeline
14:00
Start your walk from Sheffield Hallam Hockey Club. The club is situated in a residential area, making it a convenient and quiet starting point for a longer walk into the green spaces of the city.
14:58
Walk 58 minutes ENE to Graves Park and Animal Farm. This 92-hectare park is the largest in Sheffield. Head straight for the rare breeds farm in the north east corner, which is the main draw for visitors. The park offers sports fields, playgrounds, and woodland, providing a peaceful environment away from the city centre.
15:00
Finish your visit at the park café. It is the only food option mentioned within the park grounds, making it the logical place to grab a snack or drink before heading home. The café is open during the day, fitting perfectly with your afternoon schedule.
Local tip
Graves Park is quite large. If you want to keep the walk manageable, head directly for the Animal Farm area in the north east rather than trying to explore the whole park.
Check before you go
- The park is open during daylight hours. Check the café opening times on the day if you plan to eat there, as hours can vary.
- The walk from Sheffield Hallam Hockey Club to Graves Park takes about 58 minutes. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
