Peak District National Park

Bakewell, Derbyshire, England

The Peak District National Park was the first in the UK to be officially designated a National Park back in 1951 and covers the most beautiful parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire and Yorkshire. People flock here to escape the crowds and to enjoy the stunning countryside from the many footpaths, bridleways and cycle trails. It is a diverse landscape, with lush pastures and rolling green hills characterising the White Peak in the south, and the wild moorland and dark craggy terrain of the Dark Peak in the North. The Peak District is a place of mystery, with evidence of ancient civilisations living here from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age; stone circles, cairns, standing stones and cave houses have all been uncovered here. Past excavations of Thor's Cave - a natural cavern in the Manifold Valley - have found stone tools, pottery and several burial sites among other things. The iconic peak of Mam Tor and the romantic ruins of Peveril Castle are also well worth visiting while you are visiting the beautiful Peak District.
