Sheffield’s guide brings together parks, nature reserves, cafes, pubs and pet services. Endcliffe Park offers riverside walks, ponds and play facilities, while Ecclesall Woods has more than 15 kilometres of public footpaths and a woodland discovery centre. The Schoolrooms welcomes dogs downstairs in its cafe or tap room, and Forge And Filter says dogs are welcome on leads, including inside. Bradway Pet Shop welcomes dogs on leads and offers harness and coat fittings by appointment.
Sheffield City Council’s code asks you to keep dogs in sight and under control, using a lead when recall is unreliable. In sensitive areas, dogs must be on short leads from March to August, and seasonal restrictions in nature reserves should be respected. Carry enough bags, remove waste, and put it in a bin or take it home; never leave bagged waste on the ground or in trees. Commercial dog walkers should register with the council and provide public-liability insurance, canine first-aid evidence and a risk assessment.
