Timeline
14:46
Buy a snack or drink in the Oasis Food Court at Meadowhall. The centre is large and busy, so go early to find a seat and avoid the rush.
15:36
Walk to the Vue Cinema area to stretch your legs and orient yourself. This is a convenient spot near the shopping centre before heading out.
16:16
Head to the Eye of Needle public art installation. It is located in the hills to the southwest, directly in the path of the setting sun. The view from here captures the sun dipping below the horizon.
17:01
Return to the Vue Cinema in the Meadowhall Centre to end the day. It is a good place to rest after the walk and fits the end of a day out in the area.
Local tip
The walk from Meadowhall to the viewing spots is long (40+ minutes) and goes uphill. Wear comfortable shoes and check the weather, as the hills can be windy.
