TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Came to Sheffield expecting gritty industrial heritage, got endless Tesco Metros and vape shops instead. The hills are absolutely brutal - my calves are still recovering three days later. At least the curry on Ecclesall Road was decent, and you can't argue with how cheap the pints are."— HillClimber2019 from Birmingham
Property Listing
Characterful Victorian terrace boasting authentic period features including original single-glazing and charming sloped floors. The property enjoys convenient proximity to no fewer than seven different bus routes, all of which eventually lead to the city centre via a scenic tour of every roundabout in South Yorkshire.
Twinned With
Pittsburgh — Both cities watched their steel dreams rust away and replaced them with universities and optimistic urban regeneration projects.
Supporting Evidence
Sheffield has more trees per person than any other city in Europe, which is impressive until you realize half of them are blocking the already confusing road signs on the ring road.
