 Scenic fly-fishing location |
Ladybower Reservoir Ashopton Road, Bamford Sheffield, Derbyshire S33 0AZ United Kingdom +44 1433 65 1254 http://www.peakland.com/ladybo... |
Situated in a stunning location in the Peak District National Park, Ladybower Fishery is one of Sheffield's most popular fly-fishing resorts. Many of the fish in the reservoir are reared at Ladybower. They include mixed brown and rainbow trout and an additional 35,000 fish are added each season. Just to introduce an element of competition, bear in mind that the largest fish caught to date was a rainbow trout weighing 17lbs 4oz. Tickets and passes are available from the Fishery Office and various boats for fishing can also be hired. Admission: several types of season tickets are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

17th century corn mill set in 200 acres of parkland |
Off Park Road Worsborough Bridge Sheffield, South Yorkshire S70 5LJ United Kingdom +44 1226 774 527 |
This interesting example of a water-powered corn mill dates from around 1625, and a steam mill was added in the 19th century. Now converted to oil power and restored to full working condition, the mill still continues to produce stone ground flour. Amongst the exhibits are good examples of water wheel driven machinery, sluices and hammers. The mill dam is also intact. This is also a great place to walk or picnic; Worsbrough Mill is set in 200 acres of country park and is adjacent to a large reservoir. A wide variety of bird life can be seen around the reservoir and leisurely walks may be enjoyed in the country park. The mill can be reached in a 15 minute bus or taxi ride from Sheffield city centre. Review © 2007, Wcities |
