Timeline
09:00
Arrive at Greentop Circus Centre. This former Anglican church is now a circus training school. It is a quiet, atmospheric start to the day, especially in the morning light.
09:25
Walk 13 minutes to La Piazza for a coffee or light snack. It is open from 06:00 on weekdays, so it will be ready for you. Use this time to settle in before the walk up.
09:40
Walk 56 minutes from the anchor (or roughly from La Piazza via the local route) to Park Hill. This Grade-II* listed brutalist complex offers commanding views over the city. Look for the famous 'I love you will u marry me' graffiti on the overhead walkways.
10:40
Walk 6 minutes to Sheffield Tap. Enjoy a beer in a venue that focuses on the drink rather than screens. It is a great spot to rest your legs and take in the local atmosphere.
Local tip
The walk up to Park Hill is steep. Take your time and enjoy the changing views of Sheffield as you ascend. Sheffield Tap is a great place to end the walk, offering a vast selection of beers without the distraction of televisions.
