Timeline
17:24
Pick up a drink and a bite at The Bessemer. This modern pub is open late and offers a traditional English menu. It is a short walk from the start of the Five Weirs Walk, letting you fuel up before you set off.
17:49
Start the Five Weirs Walk at Lady's Bridge. Head along the River Don. The walk takes you through industrial landscapes and green spaces. Aim to be moving along the path as the golden light hits the water and the old steelworks.
18:09
Climb the hill to the Cholera Monument. This viewpoint offers commanding views over the city centre. As the sun sets toward the WSW, you will see the light fade across the skyline. It is worth the climb for this specific moment.
18:39
Head to Cubana Tapas Bar for dinner. It is open from 16:00 on weekdays and 12:00 on weekends, so it is open after sunset. Enjoy tapas and live Cuban music as the evening sets in.
19:09
End the night at Sheffield Tap. This pub offers a vast selection of beers from cask, tap, and bottle. The atmosphere is relaxed without the usual flat screens, making it a perfect spot to wind down after your walk and dinner.
Local tip
The walk from the monument to the dinner spot is a bit of a descent into the city centre. Wear comfortable shoes for the climb up to the Cholera Monument and the walk back down.
