Catch a unique glimpse of life at home and at work at a scythe and steelworks dating back to the 18th century. Abbeydale Works was once a producer of agricultural tools and the largest water-powered industrial site on the River Sheaf. It is now a group of Grade I and II* listed buildings and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. See the Manager's House and Worker's Cottage, waterwheels, workshops, tilt hammers, a grinding hull and the last complete surviving crucible steel furnace in the UK! See working waterwheels every Wednesday and our Davy Brothers steam engine in steam every Thursday.

I remember going here with school for a field trip back in 1999. This was a great place. I would love to visit this place again and I bet its improved even more and even better since 1999.

We visited Brodsworth Hall with friends on Monday 17th September.It was a last minute decision to visit,as the English Heritage leaflet we had did not fully convey the amazing venue that the Hall and gardens turned out to be.In the words of one ofour companions it is one of the BEST home and garden ever visited.A stately home it is not,but what a wonderful example of Victorian and Edwardian life it portrays. The grounds are magnificent,with a great array of rare and interesting trees,shrubs and herbaceous plants,lovingly tended by the very helpful garden team.The house is displayed in an "undressed" state,no fancy frills or dramatic displays.Just a reflection of life of a caring wealthy family and their staff.We ewre there for over six hours,and still didn't have enough time to fully appreciate it all.Will return next time in the area.

As a resident of Sheffield the Manor Top was the last place i expected to find such a historic place of beauty. There is an educational experience for the kids, but also beauty in the history and how well the area was maintained. There is a lovely cafe insight, plus a few farm animals and they were also working on a 1940's experience when we visited which looked very interesting as a few houses were being renovated to offer a war time experience. Definitely worth a visit, onsite parking is available and you can spend a good few hours here, we'll be returning once again in the summer.

Proving a firm favourite with us to treat ourselves, when possible, to lunch here when the dog is at the Groomers on the same site. On this occasion we scanned in and were offered a choice of two tables, as we were going to have paninis and coffees for lunch we went for table by the wood burning stove tucked away to one side, as other than a staff member top the stove up with wood twice we didn't have anyone walking past us. Track and trace had only recently come in with QR codes to be scanned on arrival. Easily done and no issues though. I had the steak and brie hot sandwich and it was very very nice !! Equally my daughters lunch with the hand cut chips was good - I was partial to stealing a few chips as they were amazing !! Then we just sat there with a coffee, no rush, until the groomer called my mobile phone to say our dog was ready for collection. There are other shops you could browse here too and a small petting area with animals popular with children, lovely place to stop off.....be warned the cafe does get busy ...one day I might get around to trying the tempting looking cake ! Note - Dogs are allowed inside too !!! In the summer there are often tables outdoors too, but once into autumn mostly indoors.

The Minster is richly decorated outside and inside with stone carvings and their is a magnificent reredos at the High Altar.

I came here on a cold night. After seeing it advertised on my local tv news. I love to see it all lit up outside, so it made a nice change to see how it would look all lit up inside. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The people around the building were very friendly and the lighting event was fab. Plus on my way home I managed to see the Mansion house lit up outside too. Looking equally as good.
