Stannington

) is a district of Sheffield to the west of the city centre, located on the hill between the rivers Rivelin and Loxley. This district has grown from the two settlements of Upper Gate and Nethergate (there has never been a village called Stannington).

Loxley

Loxley () is a small village to the north west of the city centre. Loxley has long been associated with the legends of Robin Hood, the Robin Hood Inn, built in 1799 was an attempt to exploit this fame and establish a spa resort at Little Matlock near Loxley. Parts of Loxley were badly damaged by the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864. Loxley's landmarks include the Cadet field, Loxley primary school and "the wreak" playing field!

Worrall

Worrall () is a village within the metropolitan borough of Sheffield in the parish of Bradfield. It is located in the north west of the city and survives in part as an independent village. The local school, Bradfield Secondary, has become a dominant landmark of the area. Local pubs include "The Shoulder of Mutton" and "The Blue Ball". Events and functions can still be held in Worrall Memorial Hall situated by Worrall Park.

Bradfield

Bradfield () is a village in the borough of Sheffield, situated in the Peak District. It is divided into two settlements, High Bradfield atop a hill and Low Bradfield in the valley of the River Loxley.

Bradfield is the largest parish in England, extending from the Ladybower Reservoir on Yorkshire's border with Derbyshire to the Sheffield suburb of Stannington.

High Bradfield possesses a dramatic Gothic revival church, and a Norman castle motte. Low Bradfield is less historic, having been largely destroyed in the Great Sheffield flood of 1864.
