Places To Visit In Sheffield


By Abel Smith at 2011-01-20 23:06:56
Everybody likes to spend the X-Mas vacation with their family and friends at some places outside their residing city or town. That is why you will face a lot of difficulty in getting tickets to your favourite tourist destinations during this time of the year. There are a lot of place to visit during this vacation time.

The Gardens have recently been fully restored at a cost of approximately £6.69 million and they are the only Botanical Gardens in the country to have undertaken such a complete restoration. In order to access the generous Heritage Lottery Fund Award of £5.06 million, an additional 25% in matched funding was raised. The Gardens are the only public open space in the country where the voluntary sector has raised more than £1 million in matched funding. The Gardens' staff and FOBS volunteers continue to develop the plantings throughout the Gardens. In the future, additional projects will be undertaken to further enhance the Gardens as a centre of horticultural excellence.

Situated partially in the historic Peak District National Park a visit to South Yorkshire will give you unprecedented access to this, one of the world's most famous and largest national parks, which has enough to keep even the most active of holiday makers busy for a lifetime.

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.

Geographically speaking Sheffield is somewhat isolated being located near the confluence of five rivers (one of which, the river Sheaf is the source of the city's name) as well as being situated in a hilly area. Sheffield is also a very green city both literally and figuratively. Sheffield boasts the highest percentage of trees to people in Europe at over two million. More than 60% of the city is considered 'green space'.

Bishops House Museum - This is the best example of a timber-framed house in the country and is situated in Meersbrook Park. Although the view from the outside is fantastic, the interior, which dates from the 16th Century, is somewhat less so. But the recreation of how life was like in Sheffield during this time has been meticulously done.

The stunning Winter Garden, icon of Sheffield, is situated at the heart of the city and links the Millennium Galleries, Tudor Square and the Peace Gardens. It is the largest temperate glasshouse in any European city centre and houses a magnificent display of more than 2,500 plants, made up of more than 150 species from around the globe. The Sheffield Botanical Gardens is a haven of peace and tranquility in the heart of the city and the glass pavilions house a beautiful collection of trees and shrubs in a historic landscape created in 1836. It is a perfect spot for picnics and relaxing.
