Road bridge in Attercliffe, you will pass underneath if you are taking a nice stroll along the canal. It's a pretty nice walk around the canal at least, you will probably see some ducks and swans and the occasional narrowboat and kayakers. If you are heading away from Sheffield centre, then you are now getting out of the building areas, and into some nice wooded areas.
Busy road bridge over the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal in Attercliffe. Stepped and zig zag sloped path access to the canal and a bench to enjoy watching the ducks and geese. The towpath in this area has recently been improved by volunteers from The Friends of The Blue Loop working in partnership with the Canal & River Trust. Work is ongoing to extend the towpath improvements towards Tinsley.
