We visited Brodsworth Hall with friends on Monday 17th September.It was a last minute decision to visit,as the English Heritage leaflet we had did not fully convey the amazing venue that the Hall and gardens turned out to be.In the words of one ofour companions it is one of the BEST home and garden ever visited.A stately home it is not,but what a wonderful example of Victorian and Edwardian life it portrays. The grounds are magnificent,with a great array of rare and interesting trees,shrubs and herbaceous plants,lovingly tended by the very helpful garden team.The house is displayed in an "undressed" state,no fancy frills or dramatic displays.Just a reflection of life of a caring wealthy family and their staff.We ewre there for over six hours,and still didn't have enough time to fully appreciate it all.Will return next time in the area.

4. Cathedral Church of St. Peter and St. Paul
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 267 reviews
The Cathedral is Sheffield's oldest building, the ancient heart of a great city, where God has been worshipped for over a thousand years. It has watched Sheffield grow and develop over the centuries, and it tells a story - of great women and men, of wars, of industry and commerce, and of the people who have lived in Sheffield. Here people have prayed, made music, offered hospitality and cared for the poor, as they do still today. The building reflects its many uses, with the traditional worship spaces including the grand high altar and the quiet crypt chapel, but also the busy conference centre, and the Archer Project area where the homeless and vulnerable find what they need Here every visitor will find something to interest them. You can book a special visit, or just call in and explore. You may find that a service is happening, in which case you can join in or not as you choose. Everyone is invited - Sheffield Cathedral is a place for all people. We are open every day of the year.

Lovely cathedral which is a great spot in Sheffield city centre. As a local of 28 years, I spent my first afternoon taking a look inside. It’s brilliant. Yea, there are some better cathedrals to see around the world, but the beauty of this being in Sheffield more than makes up for it. A must visit for anyone coming to Sheffield. Check out the fence of swords!
5. Minster Church of St George - Doncaster

4.5 based on 129 reviews
The Minster Church of Saint George, Doncaster stands at the heart of the town of Doncaster, where a church has stood for over 8 centuries. The present church was built to the designs of George Gilbert Scott between 1854-1858, after the mediaeval church was destroyed by fire in 1853. It was described by Sir John Betjeman as "Victorian Gothic at its very best" Situated on the site of the Roman fort of Danum, a section of the Roman wall can be viewed in the grounds of the Minster. The Minster is richly decorated outside and inside with stone carvings and their is a magnificent reredos at the High Altar. Do not miss the first class stained glass windows and the wonderful Schulze organ on your visit.

I came here on a cold night. After seeing it advertised on my local tv news. I love to see it all lit up outside, so it made a nice change to see how it would look all lit up inside. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The people around the building were very friendly and the lighting event was fab. Plus on my way home I managed to see the Mansion house lit up outside too. Looking equally as good.

Being interested in engineering, i visited the Arts Tower of Sheffield University to see one of the few working Paternoster lift in existence. Its not really a tourist attraction being situated in a university building, the staff don't mind you having a look or riding the lift. Arrived at 08:30 and it wasn't working, but speaking with a member of staff, she said it only works when the porters are on duty, and come 08:45 it was up and running - in fact i was the first person on that morning, riding up in one of the cages to the 18th floor for impressive city views through the design offices. Then the equally impressive ride down, through care must be taken getting off the lift! From the outside, the university building is non-descript, but hiding inside is a true marvel of engineering!
