The Five Weirs Canal Walk is a surfaced path and cycleway starting from Lady's Bridge, at Grey to Green in the Castlegate district of the city centre.
It stretches for 7.5 km along the River Don to the Meadowhall shopping centre, passing the five historic weirs from which it takes its name.
It follows the riverbank almost all the way, with only occasional diversions, and connects with the Sheffield-Tinsley canal towpath for your return trip back to the city centre (also known as The Blue Loop).
Please note, as at 18 May 2022, the section between Attercliffe Road and East Coast Road is currently closed.
This walk is recommended by Julia Bradbury in her Outdoor Guide - you can read more of her walks and watch videos of them (including this one) here.
The route is mainly on tarmac tracks, but the towpath is not surfaced in some sections and can get muddy.
The route is suitable for a mobility scooter such as the Tramper, TerrainHopper or Trailrider.
