The Moss Valley is a beautiful rural area described as a 'hidden gem' just outside of Sheffield. The ancient woodlands, the River Moss and wildflower meadows all make this area a lovely spot for a walk. You can even find routes that drop you off at The Bridge Inn pub in Ridgeway village if you're feeling peckish.
