 Ruins of 12th century abbey |
Beauchief Lane Sheffield, South Yorkshire S8 7BD United Kingdom +44 114 221 1900 (Sheffield Tourism Bureau) |
Founded in 1183 by the Black Canons and dedicated to St Thomas Beckett, these fascinating abbey remains are bordered by Beauchief Golf Course, with several public footpaths, including the Sheffield Round Walk nearby. The original abbey building was about 60 metres long and eight metres wide. The abbey continued in use until the dissolution of the monasteries in 1537, when the abbot and canons surrendered to a representative of King Henry VIII. The tower is all that now remains of the original abbey but two arched doorways, one Norman and the other 13th century, are to be found on either side of the tower. The chapel which adjoins the tower was built in 1662 and is still used for services. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Parish church famous for its twisted spire |
Church Way Sheffield, Derbyshire S40 - 1XL United Kingdom +44 1246 20 6506 |
This famous landmark, which is accessible within a 15 minute taxi ride from Sheffield city centre, has stood in the centre of Chesterfield for more than 700 years and attracts many visitors every year. The spire is not only twisted but it also leans to the south. Everyone asks how the spire became crooked and legends lay the blame on everything from the Devil to a beautiful bride, but the most likely answer is that at some unknown date, the sun heated the green timber, splitting one of the main supports and tilting and twisting the 228 foot spire. This unusual effect was probably heightened by the way in which the lead roof slates were laid on the spire. It is possible to see the spire from anywhere in Chesterfield or from the train when passing through the town; most visitors think it is spectacular. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of the greatest surviving examples of Elizabethan architecture |
Doe Lea Sheffield, Derbyshire S44 5QT United Kingdom +44 1246 85 0430 |
Hardwick Hall is one of the greatest examples of Elizabethan architecture to survive unchanged to the present day.

Sheffield's oldest house, now a pleasant pub |
40 Pond Street Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 1AA United Kingdom +44 114 279 8383 |
Surrounded by modern buildings, and situated close to the bus interchange, Sheffield's oldest house is now being used as a pub. The house was built in 1475 - a last reminder of Sheffield's medieval origins. Once known as "the House in the Ponds", it was originally surrounded by riverside fields. The inside of the pub was restored in 1949 and again in recent years, although it still retains its timbered walls and many of its original features, such as a wooden Queen's head, carved on one of the timber beam ends. Today, the pub is popular and its warm, friendly atmosphere reflects the city as a whole. A pleasant beer garden is situated outside. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Attractive Georgian square with rich local history |
Paradise Square Off Paradise Street Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 2DE United Kingdom +44 114 221 1900 (Sheffield Tourism Bureau) |
The fine, three storey houses in this large square were built in the 18th century and have now been restored to their original condition. Because the site slopes, the square was used for some very significant public meetings. For instance, in 1771, John Wesley preached here to a crowd he later described as the largest he had ever seen on a week day. A plaque on a house on the south side of the square records this event. Another plaque records that Francis Chantrey worked in the square as a portrait painter in 1802 and one on the eastern side celebrates the life of local doctor David Daniel Davis, who assisted at the birth of Queen Victoria. In order to fully appreciate this historic square, it is advisable to visit on a Sunday when its visual appeal is less likely to be obstructed by parked cars. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Where plans were made to overthrow the monarchy |
61 High Street Old Whittington Sheffield, Derbyshire S41 9LA United Kingdom +44 1246 45 3554 |
The Revolution House is situated in the Derbyshire village of Old Whittington, a 15 minute bus or taxi ride from Sheffield city centre. It takes its name from the Revolution of 1688, when three local noblemen used it as their base when they plotted to overthrow King James II in favour of William and Mary of Orange. The house, one of the few remaining thatched cottages in the area, was an alehouse called the "Cock and Pynot" and went on to serve as an inn for another century, until a new pub (the Cock and Magpie, which is also well worth a visit) opened next door. The Revolution House itself is now a small museum, which holds changing exhibitions of local interest. A video film tells the story of the revolution and at Christmas, special exhibitions take place here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic castle where Mary Queen of Scots was held |
Manor Lane Sheffield, South Yorkshire S2 1UF United Kingdom +44 114 275 9596 |
Mary, Queen of Scots was held prisoner in and around Sheffield for several years, but this is thought to be where she spent the majority of her time here. The lodge was built in 1516 by the Earl of Shrewsbury. At that time, the surrounding land was an extensive park which contained over a thousand deer. The Turret House, which Mary was housed in, was added in 1574. Over a period of many years the lodge fell into disrepair and now only the Turret House retains its roof. The site is currently closed, but if you ring in advance, you can make an appointment to be shown around. More information can be obtained by phoning the above number. But if you don't have time to book, a fine view of the extensive ruins may be enjoyed from Manor Lane. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Find Sheffield's hidden castle |
Castle Market Exchange St Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 2AG United Kingdom +44 114 221 1900 |
Visit the last remains of Sheffield's hidden castle. A formidable Norman castle once occupied this site in Castle Market and the stone castle that was built to replace it in 1270 was one of the most impressive in the North of England. Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned here at one point, but Sheffield's loyalty to the crown was punished in 1648 when the victorious Roundheads demolished the building, using the stone in other local constructions. What's left of the castle can be reached via a door at the back of Castle Market, where a flight of stairs leads down to a single outcrop of foundation stone. The door is usually open, but if for any reason it is locked, enquire at Destination Sheffield for further information. It is open during the hours of daylight. Review © 2007, Wcities |

She also took Jane's surname from a brass memorial to the local Eyre family, which is still displayed at the back of the church. The legendary Little John was also said to live locally and his grave is marked in the churchyard. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is also a great place to walk or picnic; Worsbrough Mill is set in 200 acres of country park and is adjacent to a large reservoir.
