Fitness club with unique facilities
43 Penistone Road North
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S6 1LP
United Kingdom
+44 871 208 1208
http://www.fitnessfirst.co.uk/
There are so many activities to choose from in this luxurious club that you cannot fail to feel fitter by the time you leave. A well-equipped gym and cardio-theatre are available, as are over forty aerobics classes a week. However, Fitness First is also unique in that it offers a crèche, which is fully supervised and run by qualified staff. If you feel in need of pampering after a hard workout, you can visit the sauna or steam room, or even make an appointment in the beauty salon or on-site hairdressers'. The club will negotiate special rates with visitors, for either a day's or a week's pass.

Malin Bridge Water Wheel


Rare waterwheel with real history
Stannington Road
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S6 6NA
United Kingdom
+44 114 221 1900 (Sheffield Tourism Bureau)
Records show that this waterwheel was used for grinding knives as long ago as 1794. It is one of the few remaining examples of an "undershot" wheel in the country. Water usually passes over the top of a waterwheel, but in this rare instance, the water passed underneath the wheel, which is approximately six metres in diameter and 2.5 metres wide. This wheel was one of many damaged in the great Sheffield Flood of 1864 and was later used for a corn mill. The wheel (which is now not used) is situated near the junction of Stannington Road with Holme Lane and an excellent overview of it can be obtained from the bridge on Stannington Road.

Rivelin Valley Nature Trail


Scenic river valley and woodland
Malin Road
Rivelin Valley
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S6 5FG
United Kingdom
The Rivelin Valley is a beautiful and hugely interesting area of Sheffield. This trail follows the river westwards from Malin Bridge for approximately two miles. Although today the river, woodland and wildlife are the main attractions for most people, the remains of the mills, dams and workshops scattered along the way are a fascinating reminder that the valley was once at the heart of Sheffield's grinding and metal industries. The Rivelin Hotel, on the north side of the valley, is a great spot for refreshment en route, and Rivelin Bridge Post Office cafe awaits at the journey's end–or rather, at its halfway point. Remember to save enough daylight for the return journey, as this isn't a round trip, and the returning 273/274 buses are very infrequent.
