5. Lincoln
There is plenty to see and do in the historic city of Lincoln – and it's only a short distance away from Sheffield. Discover a world of rich history at Lincoln Castle, which dates back to 1068 and is home to one of only four surviving copies of the Magna Carta. With over 300 independent shops and boutiques spread throughout the city centre, Lincoln's high street offers a unique shopping experience like no other. For those travelling via public transport, the quickest way to get there is to catch a train from Sheffield railway station. There are several trains per day, and the journey usually takes around 1 hour and 18 minutes. By car, the journey roughly takes around 1 hour and 16 minutes if you take the Sheffield Parkway, M1, A57, A1 and A57 to Tom Otter's Ln/B1190 in Lincolnshire. Then follow the B1190 to A46 and the A46 and A57 to Mint St in Lincoln.
6. Bakewell
While it may be best known for its delicious signature tart, there is plenty more to discover and enjoy in Bakewell. Some of the Peak District’s most picturesque scenery can be found in and around Bakewell. Walkers or cyclists are in for a treat with the Monsal Head route, which takes you along the former Midland Railway line, with 8.5 miles of spectacular limestone dales. It runs between Coombs Road in Bakewell and Blackwell Mill. There are also a variety of brilliant tours to participate in such as photography tours from Live For The Hills through which you can take in the wilder side of the Peak District or some of its landscapes. Devotees of the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice can travel from the Peak District to take a tour around Lyme Hall, which was used as the exterior of Pemberley, including the courtyard, landscaped gardens and lake where Colin Firth’s Mr Darcy famously enjoyed a swim. It takes around 50 minutes to get there in the car, or an hour and 10 minutes on public transport
7. Haworth
A trip to Haworth is a must for fans of the Brontë sisters who lived there. Even without the connection to the famous literary family, Haworth would still be a fantastic place to visit with its cobbled streets and rolling moors that make you feel as though you've been transported into another era altogether. Pictured is Top Withens high on the Pennine Moors above Haworth, the ruins have long been associated with the Brontës as the home of the Earnshaw's in Emily Bronte's novel 'Wuthering Heights', even though the buildings bore no resemblance to the house she descibed the situation may have been in her mind when she wrote of the moorland setting of the heights. It takes just over 90 minutes to get there in the car, or approximately two hours, 10 minutes on public transport.
8. Saltburn-by-the-sea
Boasting Yorkshire's last remaining pier, Saltburn-by-the-sea is always popular with holidaymakers who flock to its gorgeous beaches and are taken in by its Victorian charms. The town also has an up-and-coming arts scene and plenty of restaurants to dine in. It takes about two hours, 10 minutes to get there in the car, or about three hours on public transport.
