Born in Sheffield in 1943, Sir Michael Palin describes how the city has defined him.
We have 61% greenspace here, which is the highest percentage of any city in the world. Everywhere is walkable, and 1/3 of the city is in the Peak District National Park, meaning Sheffield is a destination for boulders, climbers, MTBers and runners in its own right. But none of this excludes the culture, cuisine, nightlife and feel that you get from the country's 4th largest city. Ultimately, we think we've got the best of both worlds, smashed together in one amazing place.
Matt moved to Sheffield in 1998 for a degree at Sheffield Hallam University and fell in love with the city.
