Sheffield is a geographically diverse city in England. It nestles in the eastern foothills of the Pennines [1] and the confluence of five rivers: Don, Sheaf, Rivelin, Loxley and Porter. As such, much of the city is built on hillsides, with views into the city centre or out to the countryside.
So, of the seven hills, we have only two that appear to even be real. The list ignores hills both within the original plan of the city (like the hill at the naval observatory) and hills outside of the original plan (Bunker Hill, Round Hill, Hickey Hill). There is no evidence of a historical source referring to the "seven hills of Washington DC."
