If you need destinations to plan to visit either as a tourist visiting England or as UK based traveller then there are certain parts of England that you simply must visit at least once in your lifetime and one of those has to be South Yorkshire. Many people picture Yorkshire to be a hotch potch of industrialisation and, while that would be partially true many years ago, the Yorkshire of today is a different reality altogether as you will definitely experience when you come here. Granted the region did grow and become well known for its coal mines and the steel industry but a lot of the mining was in east and the north of Yorkshire, although Sheffield is world famous for its steel. South Yorkshire is also partially home to the outstanding area of natural beauty that is the Peak District National Park. The park is the largest of the thirteen national parks in the UK and one of the most visited in the world so you will be well catered for if you need some activities to do. The Peak District is an absolute dream for keen outdoor types and there is plenty to do to stretch your experiences as well as your pocket. From bird watching to mountain biking and climbing to caving there's a lot to see and do, but for that ultimate experience , weather permitting you may even want to indulge in balloon trip or even a helicopter ride around the peaks. South Yorkshire is not only about exercise though as there is also an historic and cultural aspect to explore. Brodsworth Hall and gardens, just to the north of Doncaster is a true survivor of the mid 1800's and is said to be one of the finest complete examples of Victorian living and the most complete Victorian country houses ever to have survived in this country. The main city in Yorkshire is also rival to the capital of England for the crown of a cultural area, if arts are your love then there are a choice of major galleries you can visit whilst here as well as the largest theatre complex outside of London itself. A few days in Sheffield will truly be the icing on the cake of your South Yorkshire adventure.
