"There is on-street parking at either end of Bingham Park, on Hangingwater Road and Rustlings Road.
At the Hangingwater Road entrance, there is a gentle incline from road level to the path along the Porter Brook. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to Shepherd Wheel Workshop from this point.
There is also access from Rustlings Road, which has no incline but is a longer walk (about 10-15 minutes).
The main park path has a good surface for wheelchairs so access to the site is possible from either end of the park.
We welcome trained Assistance Dogs to Shepherd Wheel Workshop.
Due to the historic nature of the site, there are some rough and uneven surfaces, and one area is only accessible by steps."

Brief description

"Shepherd Wheel is a working museum in a former water-powered grinding workshop situated on the Porter Brook in the south-west of the City of Sheffield, England. One of the earliest wheels on the River Porter, it is one of the few remaining—and effectively complete—examples of this kind of enterprise, one that used to be commonplace in the Sheffield area. Its 5.5 m (18 ft) diameter overshot water wheel is powered from a large dam stocked with water diverted from the Porter Brook. The workshops, dam, goit and weir are Grade II listed,[1] and the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument."
