Start with a drink at the Sheffield Tap. It is a short walk from the station and offers a wide selection of beers without the usual flat-screen TV distractions. This gives you time to settle in before the climb.

Walk up to Park Hill. Take the steep uphill route from Sheffield Station. Arrive just in time to see the blocks bathed in the first golden light of the afternoon. Look for the neon-lit 'I love you will u marry me' graffiti on the overhead walkways, a sight that has persisted for over 15 years.
16:32
Continue south to the Cholera Monument. The 7-minute walk leads you through a lovely park and woodland setting. This viewpoint offers commanding views over the city centre and serves as a quiet, reflective end to the visit.
