Peace Gardens is one of my favourite public spaces in Sheffield city centre, a large public square…read morewith greenery and water fountains, making it an ideal spot to hang out during summer, based on the openness and the fact it's fairly pretty, surrounded by a lot of greenery and old buildings, including the gothic town hall. The site has memorials for citizens of Sheffield who served in wars, including wars in Spain and Korea. There are plenty of benches to relax and rest, whether you want to take in the views, just relax while walking around the city, or enjoy a snack or beverage on a sunny day. At peak times, it can get quite crowded and uncomfortable due to the noise, and a lack of security and order can ruin one's enjoyment sadly, having some staff members monitoring the park for security and cleanliness reasons would go a long way to make it an even better place. 4*

I love the smell of the fresh air, watching the kids and dogs roam freely. In Sheffield parks, it is very dog friendly and they are not chained or leashed like here in the USA. I was impressed how loyal and obedient these dogs were! There were many ducks, no geeks!! Playgrounds for the kids. Even a cafe closeby with tables and chairs outside for seating. I was told that in the summer, there are many festivals and events that happen there.

Now this badger has two lakes; the largest lake is available for pedalo rides and has sandy beaches; the smallest lake is in a more secluded area to attract wildlife. It's perfect if you want to do a Freddie Flintoff and fool around for a while. It's also ideal to see some great things of interest in this beautiful world we have around us. I'm going all John Lennon on you now. You've also got loads of grassed areas and picnics are no problem either (except the fact it's always freezing and wet in England). Then throw in the Play World bit. This is where I need to fall back and remind myself that I'm not a child any more. For "real" kids though it's got with a tower slide, climbing frames, a toddler's sandpit area and a miniature railway. Toot toot. Once again I've found you a corking day out with a difference but do check what is open if you go before the Easter holidays. You have been warned.

I find myself in something of a quandary. I value the provision of these islands of nature greatly…read moreand will always defend them from the encroaching urban sprawl but I find that I cannot get very excited about Hemsworth Water Park, Nice enough lakes and the ducks were very duck-like, the grass was probably just as green as any other park and the children's play area as clean and well maintained as the best of them but the other play area which is rather grandly called Playworld was locked up thereby saving us a few quid for an experience we could get for free in any half decent public park. I left with the feeling that I had wasted fuel driving to Hemsworth as there are better parks much nearer to where I live.

To most people Gleadless Common is the name given to a roadway in the Gleadless district of…read moreSheffield, which lies three miles South East of the city centre. But in fact "GLEADLESS COMMON" is actually a large open grassy space that has been transformed in recent years by the Parks Dept. into a lovely parkland which has lots of footpaths - some of which are tarmaced and the others dirt-tracked. There is at least three football fields, an area set aside as a wild flower meadow which during spring, summer and early autumn is alive in a mass of different coloured wild flowers. There's a high fenced tarmac surfaced tennis court and along the north boundary of the park there's an area set aside as a wildlife reserve where wild animals such as foxes and rabbits have now started to live. There's a Youth Meeting area in the centre of the park with facilities for a game of netball, a climbing wall as also been erected for their use, plus a covered shelter just incase it rains whilst they are there having fun. There's benches provided around the park for older visitors to sit on and admire the surrounding views. The best thing of all that's in this park is the kiddies fenced playground. It has swings for toddlers as well as young children, a large child-save climbing frame complete with mini slide, plus other play amenities. There's also benches and seats for mums and dads to sit on whilst watching their kiddies play. The park is well patrolled by South Yorkshire Police and city council rangers to prevent vandals wrecking the facilities provided for everybody's enjoyment.

Towering 160m above both what was once the old-money village of Alderly Edge (now a mecca for…read morePremiership footballers and Wags) and the Cheshire Plain in general, the edge has some of the best views of anywhere in the area thanks to the dramatic edge - a steep cliff-like drop. The edge has historic associations with, somewhat incongruously, mining and wizardry, but these days it's a great place to go for a walk with either the kids, the dog, visitors or even a solitary stroll. There are car parks at both the foot of the edge and the top (the latter is the main one) giving the option of a quick trip to the edge itself and back or a longer, more demanding up-and-down walk.

If you spend the night at my place and your clothing ends up strewn across the floor, I won't mind…read morethat you left your Bra in My Hall. (brainmyhall) as long as your Lane down in my bed. In fact this stadium is named after the concept... Brainmyhall Lane. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I absolutely love Bramall Lane. It's infinitely better than Hillsborough, the other Sheffield stadium. I've seen Oxford play here (and get beaten) a long time ago, but recently I saw a Sheffield home game in League Two, and the fans were just as loud as any Prem stadium! They're such amazing passionate fans and this is just such a cauldron. I've seen maybe 3 games here and can't wait to go to a 4th, probably in 2016. I have pictures of my time here and will always consider a part of me a SUFC supporter because of these intense experiences. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** This is one of the best stadiums in England, easily. It's loud, obnoxious, intense, modern and rebuilt, but old and historical. It's closed in, it's beautiful, it's fantastic. I don't even particularly love Sheffield United, but they have a hell of a tradition, a hell of a support, and a hell of a team. The Blades. Bramall holds 32k people and gets intense crowds for sure. It's right near town and is a wonderful place to watch footy. It was built way the hell back in 1855 too so it's one of the oldest grounds in the UK. Back in those days, rent for the ground was 70 pounds a year... haha. 1862 was the first footy game... Sheffield FC vs Hallam FC. England have played here 5 times. There are 10 or 12 other reviews for this stadium, but they are incorrectly under the club page for SUFC. Hopefully theywill be moved over here soon.
