Derbyshire and the Peak District are perfect places to spend some time during the upcoming Easter holidays – whether you’re looking for impressive views, great walking routes or some of the county’s more unusual attractions.
These are 41 of the best spots across the area that need to feature on your list – is there anywhere else we need to add?

21. Padley Gorge to Surprise View
Arriving at Grindleford Station, walkers can follow Padley Gorge up onto the moors, before taking in the scenery at Surprise View and looping back round to the station. There are some winding paths, but this is a relatively short journey - and a key attraction is the famous Grindleford Cafe, which is a fantastic place to put your feet up after a cold hike.
