Sheffield Vantage Points

[Delayed 461]

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a descent vantage points of the City Centre.

 

I've taken a cityscape from the Parkview Flats just behind the train station. I'm trying to find similar points in and around Sheffield and perhaps Rotherham.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations?

There must be a view from the Arts Tower. I have also noted views from the top floor of various multi storey car parks around the city.

There's a decent view of at least half of Sheffield from Manor Castle.

the castle opens its roof up at the weekends (weather permitting) costs £1 to go up for 10 minutes.

 

What a view!

I found this thread through Google after searching for Sheffield viewing points although I knew of the forum already.

 

Over the last 2 months Ive been back in Sheffield more than usual and exploring all the different vantage points,some I knew already and some I didnt until I read of them on here.

 

Ive been doing Panoramic Photo's since the beginning of this year and got a few thousand photo's that need converting into Panoramics taking photo's all around Sheffield.

 

Some of the best Vantage points are in no particular order are.
