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.

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 is located in the Peak District National Park - no other city has a National Park within its boundary.

In addition you'll find 150 woodlands and 50 public parks all within Sheffield and it is rumoured that there are 4 mature trees to every person living here!

Over 44 per cent of Sheffield residents live within a five minute walk of a wood and half the city's population live within 15 minutes of the open countryside. Imagine that!
