Day Trip from Sheffield: Exploring Chesterfield Town

#sheffieldtrips 📍 Chesterfield is the perfect quiet getaway for a peaceful weekend or a break when you’re feeling stressed during deadlines. Recently, the weather in the UK has been amazing, so I decided to visit this charming little town just a short trip from Sheffield. The town is small but complete with all the shops, restaurants, and facilities you’d need. It’s like a cozy little package with everything inside. Getting There: 🚂 Take a train from Sheffield to Chesterfield. Tickets on Trainline are super cheap—around £3.40! The train journey takes just 10 minutes, making it an easy escape. The first stop was the Chesterfield Parish Church, which is famous for its unique tilted spire—it’s truly a one-of-a-kind church in both design and charm. ⛪️ Lunch at Odyssey Greek Restaurant: 🥘 Initially, I wanted to try a Sicilian restaurant, but it was closed on Sundays, so we ended up at Odyssey Greek Restaurant. Highly recommend the tomato soup (pictured in the fourth photo)—the combination of the rich soup with special bread cubes and cheese was divine! My friend had the seafood grill platter (with squid) and loved the mix of seafood, fruits, and vegetables. I went for the chargrilled pork, which came with a wrap and small rice balls—absolutely delicious! This little town is a food lover’s paradise. Find them on Instagram for more mouthwatering pics! Exploring Queen’s Park: ⛲️ After lunch, we took a relaxing walk in Queen’s Park, just around the corner. The sun was shining beautifully, and the park has swings, leisure facilities, and even a small steam train track (although sadly, we didn’t catch the train). The park also has a lovely lake and some 🦆 ducks, and I captured a photo that gives off a “Green Fairy Tale” vibe! There’s also a white glass house showcasing a few botanical and animal specimens. Whether you’re looking to relax or enjoy good food, Chesterfield is the perfect small-town escape from Sheffield. It’s got everything you need to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet.
