With its amazing hills, Sheffield has some of the most amazing viewpoints which allow residents to see for miles, and to take in the view in a way most other cities do not allow for. And on top of that, with some towering buildings, there are some stunning sightlines across the city that few of us get the opportunity to enjoy.
There are even the great views that the city’s annual festive big wheel provides every Christmas.
Our picture gallery puts together some of these views. Some of those you can go and see for yourself from the ground. Others are from private buildings, such as the Hallam Towers and City Lofts, and provide you with a panorama you will not be able to see without the gallery.
Perhaps you’ve checked some of the public views out yourself?

5. Parkwood Springs
Sadly, this wonderful view across the city centre is not one that has been enjoyed for some time. It is the view from what used to be the Sheffield Ski Village at Parkwood Springs. Picture: rossparry.co.uk / Tom Maddick Photo: Tom Maddick

6. City Lofts St Paul's
Standing at 331ft tall, the 32 floor St Paul's City Lofts is the tallest building in Sheffield. This is the view from the top, looking down upon the Crucible and the library Photo: National World

7. City Lofts St Paul's part two
The view from the top of Sheffield's City Lofts St Paul's apartments, the city's tallest building. As clouds roll in from the north west, this view takes in the Peace Gardens (foreground) next to the town hall. Picture Chris Lawton. Photo: Chris Lawton

8. Big wheel - Fargate
You'll not see it this year because the big wheel has moved - but this is the view from the Christmas big wheel at the top of Fargate, where it has traditionally been placed Photo: Sarah Washbourn
