Sheffield, South Yorkshire and the Peak District
Visitors to the world-famous city of steel are in for a surprise – Sheffield has more than four times as many trees as people! The old industrial sites are more likely to be stunning visitor attractions…standing amid 150 woodlands and 50 public parks in the city. Also a centre of excellence for sports, the city holds over 30 major sporting events each year. For those who prefer exercising their credit card, Sheffield does not disappoint. Home to one of Europe’s largest shopping centres, Meadowhall, not to mention the boutiques of the Devonshire Quarter, you can find plenty of opportunities to people watch in the many cafes and bars.
Rotherham and Barnsley are also perfect for exploring the great outdoors – there are seven country parks to explore, not to mention the numerous walking and cycling opportunities.
Doncaster, although also situated in a largely rural area, is home to one of the largest markets in the country, not to mention great shopping and one of the UK’s top sports centres.
All of this nestles on the edge of the Peak District National Park – although more than a third of Sheffield actually lies within the Park amongst some of England’s most inspiring scenery.
