Advantages: A Peaceful Place In The Heart Of The City Disadvantages: Some Occasional Vandalism
...Norfolk Park is situated about one mile South-East of Sheffield City Centre and covers an area of 70 acres. It is one of six major City Parks and one of the reasons why Sheffield is one of the greenest Cities in Britain.
It is a place that I visit often as it is quite literally on my doorstep, but it is also a place that I try not to take too much for granted.
THE HISTORY
Norfolk Park has a long history and in fact it is actually one of the oldest Public Parks in England.
The majority of Norfolk Park was given to the Sheffield City Council in 1910 by one of the largest landowners in the area, the Duke of Norfolk. The Jervis Lum Woodlands, an area of ancient Woodland, which is now incorporated within the Park was given to the Council in 1956.

Advantages: Free, Lots Of History Disadvantages: Admission Charges For Some Exhibits
...The Elsecar Heritage Centre is situated in the small, former Mining Village of Elsecar about seven and a half miles to the South of Barnsley in South Yorkshire. It is described as a Heritage and Craft Centre and since it opened it has won numerous awards.
I often try and make a point of visiting such attractions as I find that it is an excellent way to learn about the local area and since entry into the Centre is free there really is no excuse to not visit this place whilst in the area.
The Centre is located within an old Colliery Workshop and Ironworks that once belonged to the Earl Fitzwilliam whose residence was the nearby Wentworth Estate and the magnificent Wentworth Woodhouse Country House.
The Elsecar Heritage Centre includes various carefully restored Buildings, many of which are positioned alongside the attractive...

We've just come back from a week at this hotel, and I must say it was very disappointing.
The rooms were very basic, although they were well cleaned, and in good condition (we were staying in the second block at the back, which I think is relatively... more
