Sheffield is full of amazing places, from lush green parks to hidden little gems down every crevice. Here are some of my favourite places in Sheffield for anyone who has some spare time, wants some inspiration or would like to get to know the city on a more personal level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crookes Valley Park\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

This park is a stone\u2019s throw away from most students\u2019 front door. I walk \"\"past it most days, and I\u2019m constantly awed by the colours, which changes depending on the season. My favourite season is summer, the vibrant colours of the sky, fields, and cherry blossoms are the perfect backdrop for a barbecue! This lovely photo and more like it can be found on the Instagram account: cmm__photo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Made by Jonty Caf\u00e9\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"This little caf\u00e9 is found on Sharrowvale road, and was discovered one rough morning after a night out. This serves the best English fry up in town (in my opinion). What\u2019s even more amazing is the breakfast is served all day, so even when dragging yourself out of bed well after noon you can still get your well-deserved fry up!<\/span><\/p>\n

Botanical Gardens<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These 19 acre gardens contain 18 different garden areas, including a beautiful large botanical greenhouse. This is free entry on most days, and in the summer it\u2019s a great place to meet up with friends, and chill with food and music. Here\u2019s a picture of the fountain and behind it the greenhouse:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Steamyard Caf\u00e9.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"Although very popular, this caf\u00e9 is still a gem in my eyes. The caf\u00e9 is tucked in a little courtyard on Division Street. The coffee is excellent, but the atmosphere is even better. The coffee shop has an outdoor seating area and is great when there is good weather, but my personal favourite time is when it\u2019s pouring it down with rain outside. Also, they provide a lot of options for vegans or vegetarians, which is great. There is one thing to consider though, it can get very very busy, but I\u2019m not surprised as other people must agree with me!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Peaks<\/b><\/p>\n

Do you have a day aside and a car? The peaks is a short drive away, and the drive itself can be jaw dropping. The green rolling hills can really take you away from city life, and maybe even distract you with its never ending grass peaks. Take a group of friends, some food and snacks, a flask of Yorkshire tea, and you can spend a good part of the afternoon hiking up the hills. In the summer the surroundings can drown you in stunning green. However, my personal best time is in the autumn, covered in vibrant purple ferns and with a setting sun it can really feel like a different world. The picture below includes a gorgeous view of Bamford Edge.<\/span><\/p>\n
