                <description><![CDATA[For a city famously born from steel, there are few untouched metal works remaining. Portland Works, close to the city centre, provides a fantastic glimpse of how things used to be. Still inhabited by workshops and craft people, it is currently trying to rescue itself from developers - a great and admirable fight. Portland Works was the birthplace of stainless steel, so it's place in Sheffield's history is cemented.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[London Road is home to probably the most diverse range of eateries in the city. Along it you will find pretty much everything from Chinese to Indian to Thai to Italian to Vietnamese to Japanese and to Turkish and a few more I'm sure. Take a wander up and choose one that takes your fancy. Zeugma (Turkish) and Royal Orchid (Thai) are my two favourites at present. Prices are generally budget friendly. Afterward, drop in to The Cremorne pub for a nightcap.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Sheffield has a reputation for being the beer capital of England, so it's only right that you indulge in exploring it's offerings. The ale trail is a loose collection of pubs centred on the Kelham Island area of the city, a short walk from the city centre. Working your way out from the city centre, kick off at The Shakespeare on Gibraltar Street, then wind your way on to The Ship, the award-winning Fat Cat, the award-winning Kelham Island Tavern, The Riverside, The Gardeners Rest (tap pub for the Sheffield Brewery Company), Hillsborough Hotel (with on-site Crown Brewery), and a little further out, The New Barrack Tavern. Don't worry, you can jump on the tram back in to the city centre...or retrace your wobbly steps.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This signposted circular walk around the rural edge of south-west Sheffield takes you through ancient woodlands and parks where blazing autumnal colours are exchanged in spring for sheets of bluebells. These woods once supplied charcoal to Sheffield's fledgling industries and are full of history - a 17th century grinding works, disused millponds teeming with wildlife, the remains of the 12th century Beauchief Abbey. A more recent addition is an alpaca farm on moorland at the highest point of the walk! Look out for dippers and kingfishers in the rivers and enjoy an icecream or coffee at one of the small cafes along the route. 14 miles in its entirety - but can easily be broken into smaller segments.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Smart, stylish hotel in the new Leopold Square development. Nice rooms, good breakfast (buffet or a-la-carte options), close to a selection of nice restaurants. Service was friendly, verging on the over-fussy side (e.g. personal items 'tidied' within the room, but to be fair, when I left a note expressing a preference that my things be left as I had arranged them, this subsequently stopped).]]></description>
