This is another nice run in the Sheffield Round area south of town. Explore 300 acres of lovely trails in Ecclesall Woods, a network of signed footpaths through deciduous woodland and along pretty streams. Particularly lovely in the spring with the blooming bluebells. A loop of the trails is 3-4 miles.

Ecclesall Woods can be combined with a nice section path along the River Sheaf, anchored around Millhouses Park. It’s 2.3 miles between the Archer Road Nature Reserve and Twentywell Ln., with nice views of the water and park-like greenery.

A pleasant run along a section of the River Ron and on trails through several adjacent parks near the city centre. Nice combination of water views, open fields, and wooded sections. Numerous opportunities to add on & vary.

Using the Porter Brook Trail, explore Endcliffe Park, Bingham Park, and Whitley Woods. Victorian-era parks with lovely grounds and beautiful woodlands. Note it's very hilly at the southern end.
A worth-it destination run, located ~10 miles east of Sheffield. The highlight is the 10k Trans Pennine Trail, which is a lovely, flat loop around the two main lakes. Fairly open terrain, and some nice water views.
A nice opportunity for a scenic, flat, off-road run not far from Sheffield. There's a 5k path around the perimeter of the reservoir, featuring nice views of the water and surrounding green hillside.
