Discover The Peak District

There are so many fantastic things to see and do in Derbyshire, it’s the perfect destination for a cottage escape.

What to do in the Peak District

Miles of moorland, heaths, woodland, and hills make up the Peak District National Park. It is one of the most popular places in the United Kingdom for walking and cycling trips, and there are a plethora of routes to discover for those who enjoy spending time in nature.

Elegant country homes and historic castles, subterranean tunnels and dramatic hills, heritage railroads and attractive towns are just a few of the reasons to visit this beautiful county.

When visiting the Peak District, it would be impossible to visit without taking a trip up the stunningly gorgeous Stanage Edge. When you’re standing on this enormous granite outcrop, you’ll have the impression that you’re at the absolute end of the planet, which is true.
