Why not have a walk around Rotherham town centre? Rotherham isn’t necessarily a town you might consider in the same sentence as words like heritage, unless you’re thinking of 80s heritage with such famous exports as the Chuckle Brothers and Jive Bunny!
However, you may be astonished to discover that Rotherham town centre is home to a number of landmarks dating back as far as medieval times. Rotherham’s council has put together a number of heritage trails which guide you on a walk around Rotherham town centre and its important historical buildings. You can see them here (Town Centre Heritage Trail) here (Victorian) and here (Medieval).
Councils and other organisations are putting an increasingly large amount of time into encouraging people to get out and about on ‘health walks’ or ‘walks for life’. What better way to get out and about than to explore your local town. I can guarantee that these walks will point out at least one thing you’ve never seen before, and leave you with a new found admiration for the town you live in!
To give you a little look at what you could be enjoying, check out our photos from our recent trip to the town centre:
