Timeline
15:17
Pick up a vinyl record or just browse the selection at Bear Tree Records. It is a small, independent shop so you can move through it quickly.
15:34
Walk 17 minutes to Park Hill. This Grade-II* listed brutalist estate is famous for its concrete architecture and the neon 'I love you will u marry me' sign. Arrive with an hour to spare to explore the overhead walkways and find a good vantage point for the light.
16:17
Watch the sunset. On 15 January the sun sets at 16:17 toward the SW. The low golden light will reflect off the concrete surfaces of Park Hill, creating a dramatic contrast with the evening sky.
16:37
Head to The Harlequin for a drink. It is only a 7-minute walk from Park Hill and offers a relaxed, open-plan atmosphere to unwind after the walk.
