Norfolk Heritage Park is a wonderful mix of rolling grass areas, formal avenues, wild woodland and with a backdrop of fabulous views of the city of Sheffield.
There are two formal avenues – the Turkey Oak Avenue and the Lime Avenue – which are lovely to walk down and observe the fabulous colours as the trees change through the seasons. Jervis Lum is the park’s area of woodland which has a stream running through it. It is thought that this area is ancient woodland and it includes plant species such as wild garlic, wood sorrel, yellow archangel, wood melick and bluebells. It has a wide range of birds including great spotted woodpeckers.
There are two playgrounds in the park – the Under 8s and the Over 8s – which are very popular with our younger visitors.

There are a number of sculptures around the park and we are currently designing a sculpture trail leaflet to guide visitors on a walk to see them all.

We have orienteering courses in the park suitable for different levels and fun for a family day out in the park – ask at reception for a map.
The Wildflower Area is an area created by the rangers to attract a range of wildlife to the park. It has butterfly mounds and wildflower turf and adds a glorious display of colourful flowers to the park.
