If you\u2019re looking to get out of Sheffield, explore the surrounding areas, and do something a bit different, there are plenty of exciting places to visit nearby. These are a few places that I found out about and enjoyed visiting at the weekends when I wanted a break from lectures and the library.<\/span><\/p>\n

Poole\u2019s Cavern:<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Poole\u2019s Cavern is a natural cavern in the Peak District, approximately an hour\u2019s drive from Sheffield. A one hour guided tour takes you around the cave and you can also learn more in the exhibition centre. Remember to take a jumper or a coat as it can be a bit chilly underground in the cave! You can also spend some time visiting the caf\u00e9 and the shop. While you\u2019re there, it\u2019s also worth visiting the panoramic viewpoint at Solomon\u2019s Temple. It\u2019s a very pretty and tranquil walk through the woodland which takes about 30 minutes. Poole\u2019s Cavern makes a great day out if you\u2019re looking for something a bit different or unusual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Renishaw Hall and Gardens:<\/b><\/p>\n

Renishaw Hall and Gardens is another enjoyable day out. It is still a lived-in family home, so it can only be viewed by a guided tour which lasts about one hour. You can also explore the stunning gardens and, if you\u2019re feeling a bit more adventurous, you can walk through the woodland and down to the lakes as well. If you start to feel hungry after all your exploring, the caf\u00e9 also has a great selection of food and drinks. There are lots of different events that take place here throughout the year, so it\u2019s worth checking out their website before you go to see if there\u2019s anything exciting on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stanage Edge:<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My final recommendation for a day out in the Peak District is Stanage Edge. This is one of my favourite places in the Peaks that I never get bored of exploring because of its amazing rock formations and beautiful views. Stanage Edge is particularly popular with rock climbers, who can usually be seen clambering up the dramatic rock face. There are several different ways that you can walk to Stanage Edge across the Peak District and you can take in some of the scenic views along the way. This is definitely\u00a0<\/span>worth saving for a sunny day, especially because it can get a bit windy and chilly near to the top!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
