South Yorkshire Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Lodge Moor - WWII POW Camp

A friend and I made our way to Lodge Moor POW camp one spring. It’s not well marked or preserved in any way. However, in its hay day, it was the largest POW camp in Britain. We did some research and learned that it held about 10,000 prisoners at one point. Off all the historical places I’ve been to, I have to say, this one left the biggest impact. There was definitely a strange feeling on the site itself. Worth a visit if that history peaks your interest.

Don’t mess with Sheff

Sheffield, my home away from home. I will always love this place. There's just something about the hustle and bustle of the city center, the beautiful fountains surrounded by both modern and historical architecture, a flurry of shops and some of my favorite bites to eat that make me feel good just being here. This city is just minutes from the Peak District National Park, and is not somewhere you’ll want to miss.

absolute love it here best place I’ve been too in a long while well worth the visit

Armthorpe attraction

Such a grsst abs safe area to visit I reccomment everyone has a walk down there to experience it Getting There - bus ride or short walk Attractions - lots of woodland walks, shops and supermarkets Food & Restaurants - fish and chip shops, takeaways Shopping - b&m, tesco, aldi, post office A lovely pond nearby where you can fish for tadpoles or skip stones with the family.

Very nice swimming facilities, bigger than a conventional leisure centre pool, but smaller than a listed waterpark, it's some where in between. There are also 2 jacuzzi pools, that are not seen visible on photos. The outside rapids are formed in a loop that go around a boulder, the outside rapids are not turned on all the time. There is a small white slide that connects the 2 biggest pools, although it's one way because it goes down.
