Peak District Walks
The Peak District is a walker’s paradise, where rolling hills, dramatic gritstone edges, and charming villages come together to create one of the UK’s best-loved hiking destinations. Whether you’re after a gentle countryside ramble or a windswept climb up a rocky ridge, the Peak District offers a wide variety of routes suitable for all abilities – all set within a landscape of timeless beauty and natural drama.
Kick things off with a classic hike up Mam Tor from Castleton, with sweeping views over the Edale Valley and Hope Valley. Explore the rugged trails along Stanage Edge, or wander the peaceful dales around Dovedale and Lathkill Dale. There’s something for every season, from wildflower-filled meadows in spring to misty moorland adventures in autumn.
Away from the trails, the Peak District is packed with cosy villages like Bakewell, Hathersage, and Eyam, perfect for a post-hike pint or a night in a welcoming B&B. You’ll find everything from traditional inns and country cottages to glamping pods and campsites. And when you’re not walking? Visit grand historic houses like Chatsworth, delve into underground caves, or just soak up the peace and quiet of England’s first national park.
