About Sheffield

The town of Sheffield was founded in the 8th century, but it was only during the late 19th century that it was officially recognised as a city. Located in South Yorkshire, Sheffield was named for the River Sheaf, which runs through it. Besides this scenic natural resource, the city is blessed with abundant woodlands and green spaces. In fact, a good portion of Sheffield’s land is located within the nation’s famed Peak District National Park. The Peak District is mentioned as a setting in classic Victorian-era fiction as well as more modern documentaries for its beautiful walking paths and hiking trails.

Sheffield continues to undergo revitalisation in order to keep itself edgy, vibrant and relevant to long-time residents, new arrivals and visitors. For instance, the city has developed its infrastructure to attract technology-based businesses as well as sports-oriented organisations. As a result, Sheffield has been called one of the best cities in the UK for businesses in recent years. Despite its abundance of historic architecture, the busy metropolis has a young, multicultural vibe due to its college student and immigrant populations. The city hosts numerous cultural attractions and entertainment venues. Sheffield’s relatively temperate climate, central location and easy access to the nation’s motorway system make it an ideal starting point for an exciting excursion with Minibus and coach hire Sheffield.

Things To Do in Sheffield

Sheffield, which is associated with Robin Hood of English folklore fame, is a place where medieval history buffs can let their imaginations run wild. The surrounding Peak District abounds in forested hills, flower-covered meadows, ancient castles and great manor houses. It is just the setting where one could almost expect to see a green-clad Robin Hood and band of Merry Men come traipsing down a wooded walking path. For these visitors, trips to the Rivelin Valley Nature Trail and the 11th-century Peveril Castle in nearby Derbyshire are a must. They’d probably also enjoy polishing their archery skills Robin Hood-style at Sheffield Combat Archery.
