 Peak District National Park, Derbyshire: The Peak District was the first area to gain National Park status, a wonderfully peaceful area with some of the best climbing, caving, walking and cycling in the UK. With good motorway links and the best public transport of any National Park, it is easy to explore one of the most beautiful parks in Britain.
The park is split into the White Peaks of the South – home to the majority of residents and the Dark Peaks in the North– a more desolate, brooding landscape of moorland and woodland. Events and festivals bring life and entertainment to the area and there are numerous historical and modern attractions to enjoy, including theme parks, art, music, historical buildings and ancient monuments, a diverse location for all to enjoy.
