Stretching for 550 square miles, the UK’s original national park – the Peak District – welcomes more than 13 million people each year.
Considered by many as the spiritual home of the free access to the countryside we all enjoy today, the Peak District provides a taste of the outdoors to millions.
This collection of images shows the landscapes of the Peak District throughout history and how our countryside has changed over the last century.
Other photos include a Scout and Guide Camp at Chatsworth and Bakewell Show.
