    Hampden Park

    Head to Hampden Park for the sunset. The stadium faces west, offering a clear view as the sun dips toward the WSW. It is a vast space, so you will have plenty of room to find a spot.

Local tip

The Vintage Vehicle Trust is only open on specific event days. Check their website for the October schedule before you travel. The walk from the garage to Hampden Park is long, so plan your timing carefully if you want to catch the sunset without rushing.
