South Yorkshire centres on Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley, with former mining towns such as Wath-upon-Dearne, Mexborough, Maltby and Thorne. Green Belt covers much of the open land between these towns, and the Peak District National Park extends into the west of Sheffield. Former colliery, steel and industrial land, town-centre sites and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing land, with grey belt now relevant on parts of the urban fringe.
