We are The Outdoor City
Alongside the arts and culture that has made us famous, did you also know we have not one but 5 rivers - or that one third of the city is in the Peak District National Park. We have over 800 managed greenspaces and more trees per person than any other city in Europe. Plus there's some of the best grit and limestone climbing access you'll find on the planet- not to mention that so many hills make us a natural magnet for mountain bikers and road cyclists - and it means our walkers and runners are pretty tough cookies.
If we weren't your first choice already, this might help sway you..
Coming for the weekend?
We've put together 11 recommendations for somewhere to have a drink, some great food, and stay for the night - so that you know however long you stay you've got one night sorted, and can just explore for the rest.
