Woodthorpe

About

Woodthorpe is a residential area located in the south of Sheffield, approximately 3 miles from the city center. The area is primarily made up of housing, with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes built in the early to mid-20th century. It has good transport links, with several bus routes connecting it to the city center and nearby suburbs. Local amenities include a small shopping parade, a primary school, and a community park.

The area is bordered by Greenhill to the west and Gleadless Valley to the east. Woodthorpe Park provides green space with sports facilities and a playground. The nearby Norton Wood offers woodland walks. While mostly quiet, the area has seen some redevelopment in recent years, including new housing projects. It serves as a practical, affordable option for families and commuters looking for proximity to Sheffield without the higher costs of more central neighborhoods.
