Covering 550 square miles, the Peak District is the UK’s first national park and draws over 13 million visitors every year.
Often seen as the birthplace of our right to roam, it offers a gateway to the outdoors for millions.
This image collection captures the Peak District’s evolving landscapes over the past century, along with moments from a Scout and Guide camp at Chatsworth and scenes from the Bakewell Show.
