Our drawing of the route — the shape of the walk, not a navigation aid. Carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.
A steep wooded clough running down to the Little Don at Deepcar, listed by Sheffield City Council as one of its fifty local green spaces. The path follows the stream through the trees between Manchester Road and the river, and it is shaded, damp and slippery in wet weather, with steps in places. It is short, but it is the only real bit of woodland walking inside Stocksbridge and Deepcar themselves rather than up on the moor edge. Fox Valley and its cafes are five minutes away on foot.
BB’s Cafe is a place to eat in Deepcar. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Lowood Club is a pub in Deepcar. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
A Bradfield Brewery village pub at 4-6 Manchester Road in Deepcar, reopened in August 2025 after a long refurbishment that kept the Tennant Brothers etched windows and put it on Sheffield's local inventory of historic interiors. Inside there is half-panelling, leather seating, a coal fire and a stone-booth dining room, with front and rear drinking areas and a back terrace looking over grass. The Upper Don Trail and the Wharncliffe Woods paths are both within walking distance. CAMRA's branch surveyors record the pub as dog friendly; it publishes no policy of its own.
