The city of Sheffield

Sheffield is a city that’s friendly, safe and welcoming, with a prosperous economy and relatively low cost of living, all of which makes for an excellent quality of life. Sheffield has been dubbed the UK’s greenest city; there are 50 public parks and 170 woodlands within the city boundary. It’s the UK’s only city with a National Park within its boundary, but it offers much more than beautiful countryside.
