This cache starts at Norfolk Park Norfolk Park in Sheffield - known today as Norfolk Heritage Park - was one of the first free public parks in the country. The laying out of the Park commenced in 1841, and it was opened in 1848.

The overall landscape character of Norfolk Heritage Park is that of a traditional country estate, consisting of extensive rolling grassland with structural tree planting to frame vistas. The general layout of the park was based around a circular 4m wide carriageway linked to the main entrances by tree-lined avenues. The avenue to Granville Road is of Turkey Oaks and the avenue to Norfolk Park Road is of Lime trees.

The original park boundary is listed as Grade 2 on English Heritage’s Resister of Parks and Gardens of special historic interest. The park contains 5 Grade ll listed buildings / structures of architectural or historical interest
