Description
Similar start and end to UppShe One and Two but the middle section stays south of the Rivelin Valley for longer. This means there is a set of 65 steps which makes it less suitable for some, however, especially for walkers, it gives better views along the valley and less road walking. After dropping down from Rod Side Lane there is a largely flat section along Rivelin Brook and around Rivelin Reservoir before ascending slightly to walk along a Nature Reserve and an attractive wooded ridge then into a more Urban area of Sheffield
