Timeline
15:01
Grab a pint at the Sheffield Tap. It is a short walk from Park Hill and offers a vast selection of cask and bottled beer without the usual flat-screen TV clutter. The atmosphere is relaxed, a perfect way to decompress before the climb.
15:21
Walk up to the Park Hill estate. The brutalist concrete blocks offer a striking backdrop. Keep an eye out for the famous neon 'I love you will u marry me' sign on the overhead walkways, which glows as the light fades.
16:16
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the SW, casting a warm glow over the city centre from the elevated perspective of Park Hill. The golden light that starts around 15:15 will be peaking right now, illuminating the skyline.
16:46
End the evening with a drink at The Bessemer. This modern, upmarket pub is nearby and serves a strong traditional English menu, providing a cozy finish to the night.
Local tip
The walk up to Park Hill is steep. Allow extra time if you are coming directly from the match venue or the station.
