SHEFFIELD PIKE - even on a sunny day the top of the fell seems a dismal, cheerless place

A. Wainwright

I liked Sheffield Pike - I enjoyed the climb, I enjoyed the summit and I enjoyed the views. Yes it has been scarred by mining - but these scars add interest to the fell, imagining the workers who toiled here, the machinery that would have been here
