Rank : 9.0 (average on 1 votes)Coordinates : 53.37959, -1.46995 ( Open in Google Maps) Subjects : Like many English cities, the contrasts between modern and ancient Victorian architecture, often leaning against each other, are very interesting. An example of this is St Paul's church, very close (practically at the end of the main street, on the left) to the Peace Gardens, where the Sci-Fi festival takes place every end of October. Also in that area there is a gigantic greenhouse (often home to various events), the Winter Garden. There are of course the typical houses "red brick - white windows" scattered throughout the suburbs. For those who want a bit of nature, I recommend the botanical garden, the cemetery (access from both Ecclesall road and Cemetery road) and Endcliffe Park, all in the suovest area and all accessible from Cemetry road, in order. In the eastern part I recommend the Cholera monument, from which you have a good view of the whole city, and from which you can then access the endless Norfolk park. Crossing a series of narrow streets and many (many) ups and downs (continuing southwest), you arrive at Meersbrook park, from which the view of the city is spectacular. For those who want something more characteristic and English, I recommend taking a ride in the quarter of Nether Edge, Kelham Island, or along Sharrow Vale rd or Abbeydale Road. Specifically, in Abbeydale rd there is an ancient semi-abandoned theater (Abbeydale Picture House), now in the hands of an organization with the aim of enhancing it. During summer nights, it is not uncommon to spot foxes and badgers along the streets or in the courtyards of houses.Recommended equipment : I have always used a superzoom 24-720 (it was a bridge), but I still recommend street optics (35 mm), wide angles more or less pushed for the characteristic and narrow streets of the city center, and canvases not too pushed for some cityscape style shots. Best months : Photo opportunities from sunset increase with the summer solstice (last two weeks of June), when the sun sets around 11:30 p.m. I do not recommend from November to March because, in addition to the terrible and icy west wind, there is little light as in December the sun sets around 15:30. It is still quite suggestive even during the Christmas period, but I recommend from May to October.How to get there : It is very convenient to get from Machester Airport, because from there there are several trains to Sheffiled. Some trains to Sheffiled also depart from Liverpool, but the train station is far from the airport, so you have to get there by bus. There's also Doncaster Airport (30 minutes by train from Sheffield), but I never landed there.Visits : It's a city, you go where you want and the English are a free (strange to say) people!!Notes : | | Nearby:   Lumsdale 27 km
