Agent Orange Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I am hoping that this summer will offer us some great weather and in turn, many chances to view spectacular sunsets. I am hoping to view a few over the summer period, but without going miles out of my way, I was wondering if anyone knew of any place nearby, whether it be Sheffield or the Peak District, where I can best view a sunset. Forever grateful for your help. AO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I imagine the sunset from the Surprise View is fairly impressive, since you can see clear across the Hope Valley to the sun sinking over the peaks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Win hill, Grindslow knoll, Mam tor (as long as you keep your back to Castleton / Hope, Owler tor is very nice too, Higgor tor is quite good and easy for parking, the walk up as you'll know is only 2 minutes too.

Ghostrider Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I get the feeling you will be seeing sunsets other than in the UK soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgor Tor is one I was thinking about, but was looking for further inspiration. Higger Tor is great for sunrise as you are looking east , It's where I went to watch the sun rise on midsummers day last year , the view to the west is perhaps not as good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six45ive Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The best sunsets in this country are usually found during the winter months as the low angle of the sun in the sky means that the sun sets slower than in the summer months. Here's a few of my photos of sunsets from various locations around the city. You can see the location I took the photo from on the map to the right (red marker). The date I took each photo can be found by clicking the 'extra information' link in the bottom right hand corner of each page. Enjoy. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47328636 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47332783 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47332814 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47332881 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47623112 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47624268 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47635323 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47677097 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47677147 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47682187 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47682286 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47682387 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47845418 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47847242 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47958334 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47958437 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47958516 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/48011564 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/47633145 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/46580471 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/45281172 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/32713765 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/31123500 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/31123249 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30978519 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30851020 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30851003 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30700109 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30692872 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30441638 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30112464 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/30112345 http://www.panoramio.com/photo/29616112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
