5. Curbar Edge
Curbar Edge in the picturesque village of Calver, is one of the Peak District’s top beauty spots. It offers incredible views across Hope Valley, dramatic cliff-top walking trails with wide views, and winter sunsets spanning miles. | Jason Chadwick
6. Monyash
The source of the River Lathkill is at the village of Monyash near Bakewell. It flows through the Derbyshire Dales until it joins the River Wye at Rowsley. It is unique, as the only river in the area that flows exclusively over limestone, and it provides a very relaxing walking trail. | Photo © Andrew Hill (cc-by-sa/2.0)
