THE ULTIMATE ONE-WEEK FAMILY ITINERARY TO THE PEAK DISTRICT
Sandwiched between some of the biggest industrial cities in England, THE PEAK DISTRICT is a magnificent refuge of limestone dales and weathered moorland. The dramatic difference in the landscape – from the bucolic valleys of the White Peak in the south to the gritstone ridges of the Dark Peak to the north – in part helped it become the UK’s first national park in April 1951 and today continue to make it an ideal setting for rejuvenating walks and family-friendly bike rides.
In just under a week, you’ll discover the best of the Peak District, from Dovedale to Hathersage. You’ll hike up Mam Tor, venture underground at Treak Cliff Cavern, explore Chatsworth House and the “Plague Village” of Eyam, and cycle along the Monsal Trail from Buxton to Bakewell.
