• Can dogs be off lead at Concord Park and Woolley Wood Circular, Sheffield?

  Dogs can run off lead across most of the route, including the open grassy slopes of Concord Park and through Woolley Wood itself. It's worth putting leads on near the golf course boundary and close to Shiregreen Lane and the woodland edges where the road passes, but there are no livestock on the route to worry about.

• What should I know before visiting Concord Park and Woolley Wood Circular, Sheffield with my dog?

  The streamside path can get slippery after rain, and Woolley Wood has boggy patches through winter, so it's worth wearing appropriate footwear and keeping that in mind for older or less steady dogs. There are no facilities in Woolley Wood itself, so starting from the Concord Park entrance on Shiregreen Lane makes sense — there's a café, toilets and play areas in the park, and parking is free.
