Peace Gardens (The)

In the warmer months these gardens, which are conveniently located between the Moor and Fargate shopping areas, are a popular place for tourists, shoppers and office workers to relax. They are shaped like an ampitheatre, with water cascading through giant urns into stone channels, and have a spectacular fountain as their focal point. In the summertime, the fountain becomes a source of great fun as children and sunbathers run through the water to cool off. Plenty of benches and lawns are provided for visitors to sit and enjoy the ambience, and during the summer there is a cafe which has both indoor and outdoor seating. The Ship's Bell, presented to the city by Sheffield's twin city, Bochum, is also located here.
