We are the Sheffield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From Oughtibridge Bridge we will walk by the river and up a steep hill with steps before crossing the railway bridge, then on paths and roads to the start of Birley Edge. We will walk leisurely up the mainly gentle slopes to the Birley stone. We continue along the edge to a stile (with an optional ascent and stile) to St Helena view point then descend back to the lower stile). We all then descend to a good path and meander through Wharncliffe woods back to Oughtibridge.
Options are then to sit on benches in the park, go to cafe or pub or straight to bus stop. The toilets will be open if there is a caretaker working, otherwise if anyone has a radar key we can use the disabled toilet.
2 Stiles on walk (3 with extension)
Buses are roughly every half hour at this time.
Catch 9.29 no. 57 bus from Flat St ( Next stop is Angel St) to Oughtibridge Millenium Garden. (leader meeting bus) We will walk down to the river bridge to meet any car drivers. Parking on lay-by next to Coronation Park, Station Lane or on one-way system We may be joined by a few of the friendly locals!!.
