  • SHEFFIELD ROUND WALK FEATURING PORTER VALLEY, LIMB VALLEY AND ECCLESALL WOODS
    "Porter Valley, Limb Valley and Ecclesall Woods”
    Filmed 8th April 2023
    Post-production completed 18th April 2023
    Filmed in the city of Sheffield in the county of South Yorkshire. Locations include Porter Valley, Endcliffe Park, Shepherd Wheel, Forge Dam, Ringinglow, Limb Valley, Whirlow Brook Hall and Ecclesall Woods.
    Written, presented, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.
    Special thanks to Whirlow Brook Hall, Sheffield City Council, Welcome to Sheffield and the Friends of the Porter Valley for their information used in my research for this film.

    "The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.
    Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.
    If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films: / solitaryrambler
    There is also a short “Introduction to the Solitary Rambler” video, which briefly explains what my films are all about: / solitaryrambler
    DISCLAIMER: Although I work hard to ensure all information is correct to the best of my knowledge, I am only featuring information I have found online and/or in books during my research when putting this film together, so I cannot guarantee that there are no mistakes or errors.
    Many thanks and I hope you enjoy watching!

    Congratulations Patrick on 200 brilliant films🎉 They have been so informative and inspiring to me in my own walks planning. The walk up to Lost Lad at Derwent, the steep walk up Pendle Hill and the Great ridge to name a small few. This walk was very enjoyable and shows that lovely walks can be closer than you’d expect. So thanks again Patrick👍🏻

      Thank you so much Claire, it's great to have such an archive of films and wonderful to reach 200. The Sheffield Round Walk is a very different one to the norm for me, but it was certainly worth doing. Thanks Claire and all the best 👍

    I'm really impressed by that walk and what a contrast between the two. One was a bit of everything and the second had a Hall, old works and beautiful countryside. It wasva great double header to mark 200 films and fully deserved. Congratulations and they're right about it being an antidote to city dwelling. Cheers Patrick

    It sure did have everything that walk Patrick. I loved seeing the knife grinders museum - great that so much of it is left. Sometimes you'd never know you were so close to the city. I'd imagine that area would be a top playground for us when young. I think you definitely showed the greener side of the steel city. Lovely walking. Mark

    • @solitaryrambler

      It's a vary varied walk Mark, in many cases you can't believe you're within the city limits. Glad you liked Shepherd Wheel, they've done a good job in that museum of preserving those items from the steel industry. Yeah if I lived in Sheffield that would certainly be a top playground. Glad you enjoyed the walk Mark, thanks for watching. All the best 👍

Then on the weekends walk out into tge peaks and have the greenery and sun pouring into your head through your eye that has spent tge week focused on notes 2 feet away. It's necessary to get out

    Like all urban areas, there are lovely places within if you know where to look. I found the section on grinding particularly interesting, since one of my ancestral lines began in Belper, moved to Sheffield, and later to Lancashire through the generations, with all the men engaged in nail making or grinding. It was an occupation that led that damaged the lungs.
