SK3383 : Millhouses Park, car park
near to Beauchief, Sheffield, Great Britain

Millhouses Park, car park
Millhouses Park is on the western side of the River Sheaf, south-west of Sheffield city centre.
The car park gets very busy in school holidays and at weekends. In the background is Hutcliffe Wood, mostly made up of oaks that have been managed on this slope for centuries.
The grassy area beside the car park conceals a vast storage chamber to take excess flood water in case of severe storms, thereby helping to protect the centre of Sheffield from flooding.
Concealed amongst the trees is the main railway line out of Sheffield to the south and the west with direct trains for London, Nottingham, Derby, Peterborough, Birmingham, Bristol, Norwich, Plymouth, Reading, Manchester and Liverpool. In the other direction, going north and east trains may be heading for Leeds, York, Grimsby, Hull, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen.
