The hills are officially the worst thing about Sheffield

You voted and you really hate them


One in five of you think hills are the worst thing in Sheffield.

Just before Christmas we put the worst things about Sheffield to a vote, and its hills came out top with 21 per cent.

183 of you thought the seven hills which Sheffield was built on compromised the worst thing about your uni experience.

It was fierce competition between the Steel City’s other less than desirable aspects, with road crossings and the Hunger Games like library seating situation coming a joint second place at 17 per cent.

Surprisingly, the tap water, notorious in Endcliffe and Ranmoor for it’s lukewarm, backwash like consistency, received the least amount of hate and took only 10 per cent of the votes.

Every cloud though

870 of you voted all together, and the Sheffield locals also put in a good performance with 121 of you deciding they are the worst thing about Sheffield.

But ultimately, it was the mountainous like terrain of the city that topped them all, with the ascent into hell that is Conduit being able to push even the most athletic of us into a cardiac.
