Stocksbridge is located in the North West of Sheffield, on the edge of the Peak District with a mixture of residential properties and a shopping centre at the heart of the town.
With Stocksbridge only being a stone's throw away from the Peak District National Park, there are plenty of local walks such as Whitmell Moor and Wharncliffe Woods, with many countryside views to enjoy. Despite its rural setting, Stocksbridge has excellent links to nearby Sheffield city centre and Barnsley making it the ideal location to explore everything South Yorkshire has to offer.
Fox Valley Shopping Centre is a complex of independent cafes, bakeries, and restaurants, along with boutique and high street shops, such as Sandersons, The Range and Boots. There is always an event scheduled at Fox Valley, such as the monthly Makers Market and food festivals.
Highly rated schools such as Stocksbridge Junior and Stocksbridge High School serve different parts of the postcode, each with its own catchment area.
