Given to the people of Sheffield by the Duke of Norfolk in 1841, Norfolk Park is among the oldest public parks in the country and keeps its Victorian avenues of lime and oak, restored lodges and a hilltop viewpoint looking across to the city centre.

It is a short walk or tram ride from the station and much quieter than the better-known parks.

Highlights

  • Opened in 1841
  • Grand Victorian avenues
  • Views back to the city centre
