Located on rolling hills and dissected by river valleys, Sheffield is one of the greenest and most wooded cities in Europe. More than a third of the city lies inside the beautiful Peak District National Park, and it is virtually surrounded by open countryside. Its central location and excellent transport links mean it is less than two hours from most major metropolitan areas. Known as the outdoor city, it is a lovely place to make your home.
