Beauchief Gardens is a small area of formal parkland in south-west Sheffield. The gardens lie between Abbeydale Road South to the Northwest, the river Sheaf and the railway line to the South and Beauchief Dam to the East. The gardens were donated to the city by the J. G. Graves Trust in 1935, [ [http://www.dorevillage.co.uk/doretodoorsum05/localhistory.htm Local history ] ] following the donation two years earlier of Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet immediately downstream.

The level of care had decline up until the 1990s when the Friends of Millhouses Park who accepted the challenge of restoring the gardens. Clean-up events were organised in November 2004 and March 2005 to bring back the gardens to an acceptable level, which is the state the gardens are in now.The gardens are a formal and neat grassed area, planted with coniferous trees and with the Limb Brook running through.
