Minigolf po městě Sheffield: 18 jamek, par 53

Toto je Sheffield. Mapa odpovídá skutečnému městu a hřiště je umístěno na jeho skutečných ulicích, přičemž k vytvoření jednotlivých jam se využívají atrakce, jako je Bramall Lane. Skip je místní průvodce, který zná každý kout tohoto místa. Tato kompletní hra s 18 jamami má délku 6,6 míle a par 53, přičemž k přesunu mezi jednotlivými čtvrtěmi se používá 12 portálů. Cestou se možná objeví i nějaké překvapení.

Bramall Lane

Look at the stands of Bramall Lane, a football stadium located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. This site is the home of Sheffield United and is used as an association football venue. You can also find rugby league played here. It had its inception in 1855. I have seen plenty of excitement fly through the air here, though usually it is the ball and not my friends. It is a great spot to get your bearings in the city while imagining the crowds that fill these seats.

Heeley City Farm

Heeley City Farm is a city farm located in the district of Heeley, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It is more than just a place to see animals; it is a community-based and led training, employment and youth enterprise. I've found it is a great spot to see how people in the city work together to maintain a green space. You can pick out the impact of their community-led approach as you walk through the grounds and see how they provide training and employment opportunities for the local neighborhood.

It remains a significant piece of the city's religious architecture for those passing through the neighborhood.

Site Gallery

You can pick out the screens and performance spaces before you even realize you have entered a museum. Site Gallery is an art gallery in Sheffield, England, that moves away from traditional paintings on a wall. Instead, it specialises in moving image, new media and performance based art. I find the energy here quite different from other galleries because the art is often happening in real time. It is a great spot to see how technology and live action blend together in a modern setting.

National Emergency Services Museum

You might expect another general city gallery, but this is actually a heritage centre focused on the brave work of first responders. Located in Sheffield, England, the National Emergency Services Museum preserves the history of those who keep the public safe. It first opened its doors on 8 May 1984 under the name Sheffield Fire and Police Museum. The site operated under that title for several decades until it was given its present name on 1 January 2014. I've noticed the displays here really capture the grit of the job.

Turner Museum of Glass

You will find the entrance to the Turner Museum of Glass on Portobello Street. This university museum is housed in the Sir Robert Hadfield Building within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield, in England. It is a great spot to see the evolution of the medium, as the museum has a particular focus on glassworkers from the 1920s to 1950s. I've noticed the light hits the displays quite nicely from my perch outside, which is a nice break from the usual city bustle.

Alfred Denny Museum

Located here in Sheffield, the Alfred Denny Museum is a museum. It is a spot for visitors to stop and spend some time exploring the local area. This particular institution was founded in 2012. I've noticed it's a great place to take a break from the bustle of the streets and enjoy a bit of quiet. Whether you are a lifelong resident or just visiting the city for the first time, it is a place that fits well into the local neighborhood. I always like how it anchors this part of the city's map for people exploring on foot.

Weston Park Museum

You will find this museum situated one mile west of Sheffield city centre within Weston Park. It is the largest museum in the city and is managed by Museums Sheffield. The building itself is Grade II* listed. While it is known today as Weston Park Museum, it had its inception in 2006; prior to that, the site was called the Sheffield City Museum and Mappin Art Gallery. I've found the surrounding park makes for a lovely stroll before you head inside to see the collections.

William Henry Crossland was the architect of St Mark's, a church building designed in the Gothic Revival style. Located in the Broomhill suburb of Sheffield, this Church of England parish church is dedicated to St Mark the Evangelist. It is a Grade II listed building that was started in 1871.

When you are visiting, you can pick out how it fits into the wider local greenery, as it is one of the three Crookesmoor Parks. I usually find it a peaceful spot to avoid the busier streets. It is a great place to stretch your legs before you head back toward the heart of the city.

Allen the Peregrine

Located here in the city, you can find Allen the Peregrine. This sculpture is a notable point of interest for visitors exploring the area. It had its inception in 2017. While most of the city is filled with the sounds of traffic and people, this particular spot offers a moment to stop and look up. I often see my cousins circling the nearby rooftops, though they are much louder and more restless than this still, metal bird.

Sheffield City Hall

Look up at the stonework of this Grade II* listed building in Barker's Pool. This is Sheffield City Hall, a concert hall and multi-purpose hall located in Sheffield. It was designed by architect Vincent Harris and was built by the Sheffield City Council, who still own the site today. It is a great spot for a show or a city event. I usually find the ledge near the entrance is a prime spot for people-watching, provided the wind is in my favor. It is one of the most recognizable points of the local skyline.

The Crucible
