Take a peaceful walk around Broomhead Reservoir
Broomhead circular is a peaceful walk in the Peak District National Park, taking in woodlands and glimpses across the reservoir. Although located on the doorstep of Sheffield, it is far enough off the beaten track to offer quiet solitude and immersion in nature. The route takes you around the reservoir on unsurfaced paths.
