Five Weirs Walk

The 5-mile-long (8 km) Five Weirs Walk runs alongside the River Don in Sheffield, England. From Lady's Bridge in Sheffield City Centre (53°23′09″N 1°27′51″W), it heads downstream, northeast, over the Cobweb Bridge, through Attercliffe to Meadowhall (53°25′00″N 1°24′34″W). As the name of the walk sug

gests, it passes five weirs. It is now possible to continue the walk along the Don, under the Tinsley Viaduct, to Rotherham. As of 2010, the section of the walk between Sheffield and Meadowhall has been linked with the parallel Sheffield and Tinsley Canal towpath as a 8-mile (13 km) circular walk known as the Blue Loop. The walk links with the Upper Don Walk at Lady's Bridge.
