Upper Don Trail

The Upper Don Trail will provide a safe, off-road, walk and cycleway that connects hotspots within Sheffield.

There are many similarities between the Upper Don Trail and our Cycleway!

The Derwent Valley Trust’s cycleway will be over 4 times the length of the Upper Don Trail, but is ultimately working towards a common goal – to provide a safe, off-road, cycle route that will connect hotspots throughout Derbyshire.

This video is extremely informative and well worth a watch, to see just how much of an exciting prospect it is for Sheffield – as much as our Cycleway is an exciting prospect for Derby/Derbyshire!

Our fundraiser for Wyver Lane (part of the Cycleway) can be found at:
