Sheffield is a large city in the North of England, approximately an hour east of Manchester and half an hour south of Leeds. It has excellent transport links both within the city and for travel around the country. Sheffield is one of the greenest cities in the UK, with many parks within its boundaries. The city is also on the edge of the beautiful Peak District, featuring such lovely villages as Bakewell and Castleton, and the historically beautiful Chatsworth House.

Sheffield is a city surrounded by countryside of the most spectacular type. It is, consequently, a fantastic destination for people who like to exercise outdoors or partake in associated activities. It has many other positive points too. These include a wide-ranging industrial heritage, local civic traditions and a history that can be traced back to the Iron Age. Unfortunately since the 1980s, the city has struggled financially because of the closure of many of its local industries. In some respects therefore, the town looks jaded and crime is on the rise.

Sheffield has an industrial past, predominantly coal mining and steel. These industries are in decline, as illustrated in the film ‘The Full Monty’ which was released in 1997. Today, the city is better known for being one of the greenest cities in the UK. It is also on the edge of the Peak District National Park.

Sheffield is a wonderful city combining a mixture of leafy, outdoor areas and many examples of the industrial history that has enriched it. Whether it is a day out, walking in the Peak District ending in a pub lunch or spending the day pacing the streets of the city centre, fulfilling shopping needs and resting in a chic cocktail bar after, Sheffield has it all. Public transport is plentiful, should you wish to try and be as green as a large amount of our residents but there is also ample parking.
