Sheffield – England's greenest city

 It's a surprising fact, but it would be hard to find a city with more open green space than Sheffield. A vibrant, friendly and safe city – surrounded by some of the most breathtaking countryside in the UK – Sheffield offers its residents an excellent quality of life.

Despite its urban location, almost three-quarters of the city is taken up by natural vegetation and waterways.

More than a third of the city lies within the Peak District National Park. No other city has a National Park within its boundary.

In addition. Sheffield boasts 150 woodlands and 50 public parks and it is rumoured that there are four mature trees for every person living here!

Over 44% of Sheffield residents live within a five minute walk of woodland and half the city's population live within 15 minutes of open countryside.
