Burbage South Valley — Attraction in Sheffield

The quieter end of Burbage Edge

Whilst the northern end has the rock climbers and the cars, and a little more noise, the southern feels more like it’s just you and the world. And under a blue sky, a gentle breeze, surrounded by peaks and faraway views, it feels like peace on a path.

The southern edge is lower than the northern, but until you turn the corner of the path just north of the A6187, you can look back up along the entire area, and just enjoy the views

There is the occasional cyclist zipping through, but generally they were respectful and slowed down. There were also cows on the path, but whilst they look at you, they don’t do anything more

In terms of access and use, the path is manmade and well maintained. It has the occasional puddle but wasn’t muddy when i went on a blue sky mid september day. This remains true all along the path. The starting point at the south is only twenty mins away from the start of Padley Gorge if you want to tag in another gloriously gorgeous place into your day

As said on my burbage edge north review, you won’t spend a day here, but it’ll definitely make your day to spend...

Always love a bimble round Burbage Edge. Fantastic walk with plenty of great views. Great spot for bouldering/climbing as well. Can get very busy at peak times and especially when the weather is good. There are quite a few parking spots about in the area. Some pay and display and some off road lay-by parking provided. So please park sensibly. They can get full quite quick at peak times so parking can be a bit of a nightmare unless you get there early. Well worth visit for hiking or climbing but please look after these places and take you rubbish home otherwise it ruins the beauty of the place for...

Nature's playground! This area is beautiful and offers some cool walks and bouldering challenges. Around 30 beginner problems and 50 odd problems that hurt my fingers just looking at them!

Great day out when the weathers nice. Can be windy and cold...
