Life in the UK | Sheffield Travel Guide

Sheffield is a city with a distinctive character, and history has given it many names: university city, Steel City, billiard City, and creative industry city. During the last century, Sheffield was so synonymous with the British Steel industry that it earned the nickname "Steel City". The annual snooker competition held here has earned the city the title of the City of billiards. But because of its small area, many students jokingly call it "Xie Cun Er".

Let's walk into the "Xie Village", an article to take you to play all over Sheffield.

Chadworth Castle Estate

Chatsworth House was the setting for Darcy's House in the film Pride and Prejudice. Movie fanatics and Jane Austen fans must come.
Once the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, it has been passed down from generation to generation to become one of Britain's most prestigious estates. The estate has spectacular fountains, giant European-style sculptures, gardens and a waterfall that is more than 300 years old. The whole mansion has more than 30 rooms and a reception hall decorated with famous paintings, as well as exquisite murals. Successive owners have been lovers of art collecting, making the Darcy Estate one of the greatest art collections in Europe. Students who want to feel the classical British romance and experience traditional British culture should not miss it.

When I visited the house, I found that the so-called "wallpaper" of the walls used by their nobles at that time was made of leather. From the magnificent classical frescoes to the exquisite and stylish bed curtains, every piece of furniture and arrangement is worth looking at.
The Garden is very big! You can see the ice cream truck after coming out of the house, and rum flavors are highly recommended.

The Sheffield Winter Garden

The Sheffield Winter Garden is the largest greenhouse in the UK! The biggest! The garden building is 70 meters long and 22 meters high, and is a green world with more than 2,500 species of plants.
