Sheffield is England's fourth-largest city, with the wealth of facilities you would expect to find in a major city - yet it's compact, friendly and accessible. Sheffield is in South Yorkshire, in the north of England. It is close to Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and the Peak District. It is the greenest city in England, with 150 woodlands and 50 public parks. Crime statistics show it is also one of the UK's safest cities.

Sheffield has excellent rail links to all major cities. You can be in Leeds or Manchester by train in about an hour, and London in under 2.5 hours.

The area is bursting with culture and entertainment, including award-winning theatres, museums and galleries. Our night life is also legendary with a wealth of clubs and live music venues. Home to two universities with more than 40,000 students, Sheffield is one of the country's most popular student destinations.
 
Sheffield also prides itself on the beauty and richness of its open spaces. Visit Sheffield and you will never be far away from one of over 50 public parks and will soon appreciate how comfortably Sheffield nestles into the Peak District National Park.

Sheffield and the region has so much on offer for families. You can experience days out on the farm, explore dramatic underground caverns or enjoy nature reserves. Don't miss the ultimate family favourites - Magna and Kelham Island Museum, where you can get a hands-on insight into Sheffield's world famous steel industry. And why not get active at Ice Sheffield or the Sheffield Ski Village. More info - Family Adventures.
