fronbow Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 The top of Myrtle Road, near The Ball Inn will give you some good views. Also the Cholera monument on the Claywood will give you views stretching from the train stn. And round about the Park Grange tram stop enall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Originally posted by "chill" There's a good view from Meersbrook Park. Where's East Bank Road mikey? Difficult to describe, but its a very steep hill that runs from the town to the manor top, cuts through Norfolk Park/Gleadless areas. Here are my instructions Take the road that runs at the back of the Skating rink, keep following this road and you will start rising up, park up nr top where there is grass on the left hand side, turn around and stare in amazement with mouth wide open.

zeke Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 When I lived in Sheffield (sigh) I cycled to work from Foxhill to Crystal Peaks and back of course. When I was zooming down City Road one night and I turned onto Granville Road I nearly fell off my velocipede... The view of sheffield by night was one to remember, all bright lights! Wonderful!!

halevan Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Mount zion at crookes, On a clear day you can see Blackpool tower from there, although I don't know if it is open to the general public now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morte Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Coming down Ringinglow Road at night from the Peak District gives a fantastic view. When you come round the corner on the road from Grenoside to Oughtibridge at the top of the hill. Personally I have a fantastic view from the city centre to the airport from my window.

Yes, you would have a good view. Shirecliffe is one of the highest points in Sheffield. back when Parkwood College was there you could always see the college from anywhere in Sheffield no matter where you were.

Cheers mate. I'll definitely be taking my camera to these locations this weekend if the weather holds. I'll post the results next week if I get time.
