smithy266 Â Â 21 #2 Posted September 6, 2012 No, its a linear walk, start from either the city end or Meadowhall. There is a superb website for the 5 weirs walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
scoobz   10 #3 Posted September 6, 2012 The best place to start IMO is Meadowhall, and then walk back to town from there. Watch out though, there's one section near Attercliffe Road which is closed after 5.30 in the afternoon, and the spider bridge near the Wicker was also closed last tiem I was down there.

Agent Orange   11 #5 Posted September 7, 2012 Im wanting to do the 5 Weirs walk and wanted to know the best place to start. And also is it a circular route?  Here is a map of the route.  http://www.fiveweirs.co.uk/map.htm  Personally, when I've walked this route, I have started in the city centre and instead of ending my walk at Meadowhall, I do a u-turn at Meadowhall and head back to city following the canal and ending the walk at Victoria Quays. If you want to make a round walk of it, I would certainly recommend the above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
