The Peak District is filled with some of the region’s most gorgeous villages and market towns.
It can well be said Derbyshire is the one of the UK’s top food destinations, offering up delicious treats such as Bakewell tart and Dovedale Blue cheese.
The Peak District is a tourist attraction in its own right, drawing over 13 million visitors each year - approximately the same amount of people that visit London’s Hyde Park.

From miles-long views across shimmering rivers to babbling brooks, pretty waterfalls and striking cliffs, it is easy to see why people love and return to Derbyshire time and again.
