A trip to England opens up a world of opportunities and whilst being a relatively small country compared to some, you will still have a large choice of places to visit. To experience the ruggedness of the English countryside along side the friendliness of the locals then South Yorkshire has to be on your agenda.
Many people picture Yorkshire to be a hotch potch of industrialisation and, while that would be partially true many years ago, the Yorkshire of today is a different reality altogether as you will definitely experience when you come here.
Granted the region did grow and become well known for its coal mines and the steel industry but a lot of the mining was in east and the north of Yorkshire, although Sheffield is world famous for its steel.
South Yorkshire is also partially home to the outstanding area of natural beauty that is the Peak District National Park. The park is the largest of the thirteen national parks in the UK and one of the most visited in the world so you will be well catered for if you need some activities to do.
Activities in the park include rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking and camping, bird watching and so much more, you can even take a balloon flight across the peaks or even a helicopter ride if you enjoy flying or don’t mind digging a little deeper in you pockets for a memorable experience that will probably stay with you for the rest of your life.
More Peak District Tourist Information can be found here.
South Yorkshire is not only about exercise though as there is also an historic and cultural aspect to explore.
Brodsworth Hall and gardens, just to the north of Doncaster is a true survivor of the mid 1800’s and is said to be one of the finest complete examples of Victorian living and the most complete Victorian country houses ever to have survived in this country.
If you like the hustle and bustle of city life, visit Sheffield, one of the largest cities in England. You could consider Sheffield as the London of the north as it has the largest theatre complex outside London, and is home to the world renowned Crucible and Lyceum theatres.
If you’re thinking of staying in Sheffield visit the Artful Lodger website for Sheffield property to rent and Sheffield estate agents information.
