An industrial city tracing the southernmost borders of Yorkshire, Sheffield is perhaps best known as the gateway to the Peak District, one of England’s most popular National Parks. While not technically part of Sheffield, the city makes a great starting point for hikers and campers, and with some 22 million annual visitors to the park, there’s a steady stream of visitors passing through.
Even if you can’t face tackling the Northern wilderness, Sheffield offers plenty of greenery to distract from the urban sprawl, with its undulating landscape sculpted around seven hills and interlaced with streams and rivers.
