When I discovered Wincobank hill when I moved to this part of Sheffield in1997, I was amazed to find such a place nestled between the estates and the don valley below. It has provided me with continuous inspiration and awe ever since. What an underated and forgotten gem in the mythical landscape of this country? Only later did I discover the historical significance. Until that point only on many walks over its grand summit and amidst its fine woodlands did I sense something of the former importance of the site. Working all over sheffield i often spy a view of the hill in the distance, catching in a different angle , but always the majesty of its natural shape rising above the city. A geologist in a former life I have marvelled at its structure, and continue a personal quest to enlighten its lost glory through study of its recorded archaeology and physical semblence. Also a singer song-writer, it has inspired me in my work, the serenity and connection i gained from lonely walks up there absorbed into creativity. So glad to find so much on the net about my favourite place.
