Evening Walk: High Hazels Park and 70 Acre Hill
Overview
A ramble through a green oasis to the east of Sheffield between Darnall and Tinsley. Our route takes us from Darnall, through Tinsley Park Wood, up to the edge of the old runway of the former Sheffield City Airport. We loop round to the edge of Tinsley Park Cemetery, then make our way to 70 Acre Hill and stop to take in the views of the city. We return to our start point, which gives an option for an early finish to anyone that wants to drop out and then take in a second loop around High Hazels Park, an estate bought by Sheffield for public use in the 1890s.
Distance: around 3¼ miles; Height gain: around 100m
