Walking is a good ways to travel across Sheffield and explore the city. Whether you want to get from the student villages or the train station to the main campus – everything is on your doorstep and a short walk is always a good option. 

Sheffield has a compact city centre with the University campus and residences within a 30 minute walk of each other. The majority of students choose to walk to campus.

Walking is good for your physical and mental health and it’s a great way to explore a new city or discover hidden gems. Most importantly it’s free and environmentally friendly.

Not only is the urban environment easy to navigate, Sheffield is known as the Outdoor City, with over 200 parks, woodlands and public gardens in its boundaries.
