The Peak District has something for everyone. In the northern area you can roam on wild open moorland with magnificent views overlooking sites such as the Derwent Dams. Further south, stroll alongside sparkling rivers in wildlife-rich valleys far from the hustle and bustle of town. The Peak Park Rangers lead regular guided walks specialising in many different interests – from a long hike along the Pennine Way or other long distant trails, to a ghost walk or tour around a village or town.
Visit grand houses such as Chatsworth with its farmyard and adventure playground, or the caverns at Castleton featuring unique Blue John stone, stalactites and stalagmites and even a boat ride underground. There are also stone circles, castles, museums and working mills to explore.
Be sure to try the local oatcakes with Hartington Stilton, washed down with the local brew, followed by a delicious Bakewell pudding for dessert. There's a wide choice of accommodation. Stay on a working farm or revel in luxury in a four-poster bed; opt for family self-catering accommodation or get away from it all in an Elizabethan manor.
Come for a day trip or longer – here in the Peak District you'll always be welcome.
