Walk Sheffield up and down its hills
Sheffield is a city of hills, steel and green spaces, with the Peak District right on its western edge. FOG keeps the map dark until you walk it, and the climbs here make every street feel earned.
The centre
The Peace Gardens, with fountains, sit in front of the Town Hall in the centre. The Winter Garden, a large glasshouse full of plants, is next door. Sheaf Square, outside the station, has a long steel water sculpture.
Division Street and the Devonshire Quarter have shops and bars. The University of Sheffield is just west, with the Arts Tower and Weston Park beside it.
Rivers and steel
Kelham Island, north of the centre, is an old industrial district on the River Don, with a museum of the steel industry and pubs in old works buildings. The Five Weirs Walk follows the Don downstream.
The Porter Valley, west of the centre, has a trail following the brook through a string of parks from Endcliffe Park up toward the moors.
Hills
Sheffield is very hilly, and many streets are steep. The city has more trees than most in England, and parks are everywhere.
The Peak District begins at the western edge of the city, so a long walk can start in the centre and end on the moors.
What the app adds to a walk
The ledger tracks the area you have unfogged, the distance you have covered and your share of the whole Earth. Ranks climb with area, from Fogbound and Wanderer up through Scout, Pathfinder and Explorer to Atlas. The collection fills with the countries, regions and cities you have actually stood in, and nothing else can add to it.
Everything stays on the phone: no account, no cloud, no app analytics, no ads. If you already have years of Google Timeline or GPX history, FOG Unlimited can import it, a single purchase rather than a subscription, so Sheffield walks you took before installing appear on the map the same day.
