Welcome to The Blue Loop

The Blue Loop is a continuous loop of waterways and riverside walkways in the heart of Sheffield, made up of The River Don and Tinsley Canal. It travels for 8 miles from the city centre and flows close by the communities of Burngreave, Attercliffe, Darnall and Tinsley.

The Blue Loop is a brilliant destination for local families; it's close to home, there's loads to see and do, and best of all, it's free!

Why not tackle the whole 8 mile walk?
Or cycle along the Five Weirs Walk along the River Don - the walkway is railed and is great for young cyclists. For the less adventurous there are shorter walks too.

Feel like getting closer to nature? There's wildlife a plenty down by the water! Take your camera, get snapping, and don't forget to upload your photos to our gallery!
