Sheffield; Monday, 27 August, 2012

I checked out, left my bags with the hotel and headed out to the edge of town and the Botanic gardens.

I had a long wander through the gardens, including the spectacular greenhouse and the carefully restored (though thankfully not returned to original purpose) bear pit.

I wandered back into town and after lunch had a look around the former canal docks in Victoria Quays before heading back into the centre of city for a later afternoon coffee before collecting my bags and heading to the station and the train home.
