Description
The route leaves Upper Derwent on well maintained paths before ascending up above Ladybower reservoir to Derwent edge. At this point the path becomes more rocky and rough. The path then descends towards A57 but goes north to avoid walking on the road. It then follows Rod Side which is a long but relatively quiet road. There are options to head into the Rivelin Valley but this route stays north of the valley following tracks which are more accessible to wheels. It then heads down and crosses the Rivelin Valley before ascending again into the outskirts of Sheffield, from here it is pavements down hill into the centre of Sheffield
