SOUTH YORKSHIRE
South Yorkshire was created as a metropolitan county in 1974. It was previously the southern part of the West Riding of Yorkshire.
South Yorkshire comprises four administrative districts - Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley.
Sheffield is the fourth largest city in England, famous for the production of steel and cutlery. It's a great place to visit with a vast choice of shops, restaurants, leisure and sporting facilities, museums, art galleries and attractions. Sheffield is known as England's greenest city and boasts such facilities as the Sheffield Botanical Gardens. Additionally, it has over 50 public parks so you're never far from a pleasant place to relax. The Peak District National Park lies to the west of the city approximately five miles from the centre.
The Rivers Sheaf (from which Sheffield takes its name), Don and Rother flow through the surrounding countryside and provide opportunities for recreation. The river valleys lead to countryside of hills, lakes and moor land that lies to the north, south and west. There's lovely scenery here for walking, cycling or horse riding.
