VIEWPOINT NUMBER ONE: SKYE EDGE


















Our first map is out now. It will take you to Skye Edge.

Skye Edge is one of the sweetest views in the city. A 360 degree vision of green hills and glittering terraces, fat tin factories and new lego towers. It's also one of the easiest to get to: just a mile from Sheffield Station.

Winter is the perfect time for the Skye Edge view: all the leaves are long gone, and you can see through the bushes that surround the summit. Knock off early, and get up there about 4 to see the city's lights flicker on, one by one.

ROUTE

The walk will take you about an hour, including taking-it-all-in time.

The route begins behind the station, and snakes up, around the back of Park Hill, along a straight path beneath the edge, then up to Skye Edge itself.

On the walk, look out for these markers. They'll help you find the way.



































The walk ends with you standing on top of a rock, looking out over the city.


















Here's a super lo-fi video of what you can see.
