Where to stay in Neepsend
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Neepsend runs along one stretch of water, and where a bed sits on it decides the walk. The Wicker end is the city end. A room near Lady's Bridge puts Sheffield city centre about a mile off and the Sheffield Royal Infirmary within the same short reach, while the Hillfoot Bridge end trades that for quieter ground toward Parkwood Springs.
Both ends share the River Don.

Lady's Bridge and the Wicker
Lady's Bridge at the Wicker is where the Neepsend flood plain begins, and beds at that end sit closest to Sheffield city centre and to the Sheffield Royal Infirmary. Beds are limited here, so book early.Find hotels in Lady's Bridge and the WickerA base at the upstream limit of the Neepsend flood plainHillfoot Bridge end
Hillfoot Bridge closes the far end of the River Don stretch that Neepsend covers, which makes it the quieter side of the suburb and the nearest approach to Parkwood Springs.

Parkwood Springs is often counted as part of Neepsend itself, so a room there keeps the Church of St Stephen and the River Don crossings inside an ordinary walk.
