Wyming Brook Nature Reserve is a hidden woodland gem on the edge of the Peak District, just west of Sheffield in South Yorkshire. This peaceful reserve is managed by the Wildlife Trust and features a magical mix of mossy rocks, tumbling streams, and ancient conifers and oaks. Wooden bridges and winding trails follow the bubbling brook through a steep-sided valley, offering one of the most enchanting short walks in South Yorkshire. It’s a haven for wildlife and a popular spot for walkers, families, and photographers seeking tranquillity close to the city.
