Although not in the North Ecclesall Woods springs to mind. I've always seen people collecting there in the past.

Beeley Woods - at the end of Claywheels Lane,Wadsley Bridge.You have to look for the trees off the beaten path but if you know what you are looking for they

are easy to find.I havent been for a couple of years but they were always good croppers.

Good luck.

Try Grenoside Woods, I know my sister in law goes there as she lives close by and the ones she kindly brings for us are lovely. However last year was not very good, very few and quite small.
