Still commonly known as the ‘Steel City’, Sheffield will perhaps always be associated with the production of cutlery – but for the visitor, it brings so much more to the table than industrial heritage. Indeed, recent urbanisation projects mean that one third of the city’s territory is now rural parkland, making it one of Britain’s greenest cities.

With such a diverse landscape on show, it seems you can explore all that Northern England has to offer without ever leaving Sheffield – but when you do venture out, you’ll have the stunning, serene beauty of the Peak District right on your doorstep.
