About Crookes
Where to stay in Crookes
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Which side of Crookes suits depends on whether the trip faces Broomhill or the River Rivelin. Wesley Hall and St Columba anchor the middle. Crookes sits about a mile and a half west of Sheffield city centre, close enough that a room here stays within walking distance of Walkley and Upperthorpe while keeping the whole city within easy reach.
Rivelin Glen Cemetery marks the edge.
