Went for a coffee and walk with the family. What a wonderful little cafe and spot to walk. Very clean and tidy with some beautiful scenery to walk in. The woods were lovely and paths were tidy. No litter to be seen. The cafe was spotless and very efficient. What a wonderful place to visit. Parking can be tricky but it's worth it. Go try it out. Thank you.

Great for dog walks, mindful walks, photos, introduction to Sheffield, paddling, foraging, and nature! You can do the Sheffield round walk through here, or you can walk along the Porter Valley through Forge Dam, Bingham, and Endcliffe Park. Whiteley Woods is lovely, and you can access the Mayfield Valley walking through forge dam, as well as the alpaca farm and Whirlow! There are many nice walks you can do and places you can get to by starting here. It's a great park where memories are made, people socialise, and photography opportunities. I love it.

Nice park with some nice features. The swings are good for disabled people and can be strapped in, the slide is pretty big, small climbing frame, few oddments but overall a lovely scenic place with cafe. Good place to walk dogs and connects down to endcliffe park. A lovely quiet beautiful place!!
