Explore Forge Dam (Self-guided walk)

Sheffield is one of the greenest cities in the UK, boasting over 50 parks and green spaces!

Walking regularly is a great form of exercise, and isn't just good for your body - it's great for your mind, too!

Regular exercise will improve your mood and increase feelings of wellbeing - and it can even help relieve feelings of depression. Being outside in the fresh air has been linked to better mental wellbeing and reduced stress.

With this in mind, why not motivate the members of your household, put on a comfy pair of shoes, grab your coat, hat and gloves and get outside!

Residence Life has planned some amazing urban walks for you to try.
